Heat pumps:  What you need to know

Heat pumps are becoming a popular home heating and cooling option.  If you are installing a heat pump for a new or existing house, City staff need to verify its location on the lot.  

  • Please be sure to add any heat pumps to site plans you submit. 
  • Remember:  structures more than 30 inches high are prohibited in side yards.  (See OMC 18.05.080.) 
  • Questions?  E-mail the Community Planning and Development Department or call us at 360-753-8314
