Building in Marion County

Building in Marion County involves county permitting for unincorporated areas and city-specific jurisdictions within Salem, Silverton, and other communities. The county's terrain is predominantly valley floor — flat, fertile, and generally straightforward to build on — with hillier terrain to the east toward the Cascades. Salem's urban growth area has seen significant residential development, and infill custom builds are increasingly common in established neighborhoods.

The region's lower land costs compared to Portland metro make it possible to invest more in the home itself, and our clients here take full advantage of that equation.
