Sisters adopted Ordinance 545 on 2025-11-19 and applies ORSC R327 throughout the city from 2026-04-01 — with a twist: Deschutes County Building Safety administers the rule. What applies to your house is city law with a county desk.

Three checks remain the officials' to make — the boundary, the project's scope, and the final sign-off — and what we can't tell you yet keeps them in the open.

At the foot of the mountains, Sisters resolves to USDA half-zone 7a, with 524 plant records documented for the city out of Oregon's 623. The planting evidence starts under living here.

What applies to your house here

Sisters ORSC R327 application, adopted 2025-11-19, effective 2026-04-01, is the construction answer here.

Sisters City Code applies ORSC R327 throughout the City, with Deschutes County Building Safety administering it. Council adopted Ordinance 545 on 19 November 2025, and current City and County pages make the rule mandatory for new ORSC dwellings and accessory structures from 1 April 2026. Use the local Build evidence, then confirm the parcel and project with the County.

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.
