Bend answers the wildfire construction question locally — one of 5 places in Oregon with a sourced construction application among its 11 sourced local nodes. The city adopted ORSC R327 through Ordinance NS-2552 on 2026-04-15, and what applies to your house starts from that adoption: 77 product matches are documented across 7 parts of the house against it.

The ordinance leaves four checks to the official record — the boundary, the project type, the effective date, and confirmation for your build — and they stay listed under what we can't tell you yet rather than being papered over.

Planting is a separate question with separate evidence. Bend sits in USDA half-zones 6a and 6b, with 521 plant records documented for the city out of 623 statewide; living here is where the garden answer starts.

What applies to your house here

Bend ORSC R327 application, adopted 2026-04-15, is the construction answer here.

Current Bend Code establishes all Bend city limits as the WUI Hazard Zone and applies ORSC R327 throughout that area. Ordinance NS-2552 was adopted on 15 April 2026 and codified in May; the exact effective date is not established by the opened sources. Use the local Build evidence, then confirm the parcel and project with City Building Safety.

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:

Whether the instrument is in force for this project's date.
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.
