Typical cost in Hillsboro
A teardown starts with the asbestos, not the excavator. An accredited inspector surveys the whole structure, a DEQ-licensed abatement contractor takes out anything friable, and only then do the walls come down.
The owner-occupant exemption that covers a homeowner’s own remodel does not apply once the house is going to be demolished. We clear asbestos ahead of demolitions in Hillsboro, Forest Grove and Cornelius.
A full demolition needs a whole-building survey, from the roof to the crawlspace. Friable material comes out with a licensed abatement contractor first. Nonfriable siding, roofing and tile can be removed by a CCB-licensed contractor after a five-day DEQ notice.
Hillsboro asks for a demolition permit for residential structures over 200 square feet of floor area. We sample a detached garage’s siding, roofing and floors along with the house.
Removing part of a building, such as an old addition, counts as an alteration in Hillsboro and needs a building permit rather than a demolition permit. The state survey rule still covers the area being removed.
An accredited inspector samples every suspect material in the structure and writes the report.
DEQ gets the notice and fee 10 days before friable removal, five days before nonfriable.
Asbestos is removed, bagged, labeled and hauled to a DEQ-permitted landfill with a shipment form.
Hillsboro’s checklist also covers utility disconnections, a possible grading and erosion permit and, in the two conservation zones, Development Review approval.
