What this form is
The application helps the City review proposed construction or other development in the regulatory floodplain, including project location, flood hazard information, elevations, and required attachments. The form says development must comply with City floodplain standards and that work cannot begin in a regulatory floodplain until a permit is issued. For alterations, additions, rehabilitations, repairs, or improvements to existing structures, Appendix A includes construction-cost itemization and an affidavit.
Who needs it
Property owners or applicants proposing development in Toledo’s regulatory floodplain should complete the application; Appendix A applies to specified work on existing structures.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I apply for a Toledo Floodplain Development Permit?
- Complete the application checklist and applicable sections, include the required site plan and other attachments, and submit the application and fees to the City of Toledo. The form says the application is not considered filed until required information is submitted and fees are paid.
- Do I need to notarize the entire permit application?
- The notary block appears in Appendix A’s construction cost affidavit, not on the main application signature page. The affidavit preparer—an architect, contractor, or property owner—attests to the listed statements and signs before a notary.
- Can a commissioned online notary notarize this affidavit?
- Oregon law recognizes remote notarization by an authorized notary, and Oregon recognizes notarial acts performed by an authorized officer of another state. The Oregon Secretary of State says a properly notarized out-of-state remote online notarization document is valid in Oregon.
- When does Toledo require a floodplain development permit?
- The form says a permit is required when the property and proposed development site are at least partially within the regulatory floodplain, unless a listed exception applies. If unsure, confirm with the city or county clerk.
