Ashland moved early: Ordinance 3198 adopted the current residential code including R327.4 citywide, effective 2021-10-01, and the City says its Wildfire Hazard Zone covers all parcels. What applies to your house starts from a rule that is already several fire seasons old.

The city also publishes separate reroof, landscaping, and fence triggers — so smaller projects can wake the rule, not just new construction. What stays open is narrower than most places: the project-scope and sign-off checks under what we can't tell you yet.

Ashland sits in USDA half-zone 8a, one of Oregon's 11 sourced local nodes and 5 adopters; 518 of the state's 623 documented plant records reach the city. Living here carries the planting side.

What applies to your house here

Ashland ORSC R327 adoption, adopted 2021-06-01, effective 2021-10-01, is the construction answer here.

Ashland Ordinance 3198 adopts the current ORSC including R327.4 within the City, effective 1 October 2021. The City says its Wildfire Hazard Zone covers all parcels and publishes separate reroof, landscaping, and fence triggers. A written substantial-compliance waiver remains with the Building Official. Confirm the project path with the City.

What we can't tell you yet

Oregon has 11 sourced local nodes; 5 have a sourced construction application. Adoption is not statewide by implication: Lincoln County, Marion County, Medford, Portland, Redmond, Yamhill County have none sourced here.

These checks stay open because the sourced instrument leaves them to the official record, not because this page skipped them:

The official boundary that would put a parcel inside the application.
Confirmation from the building official for this project.
Whether this project type is in scope of the instrument.
