Missing Property Blueprints

[Elizabeth Lee]

We have a rental in Lake Oswego Oregon and tried to get the blueprints for the house (built in 1967). The city is saying they do not have it, the county says they do not have it; the house however was just extensively modified to satisfy the city’s property boundary requirement so I am assuming the previous owner had blueprints from somewhere. The city SHOULD have it.

I had someone else do this but it appears I may have to step in. Any suggestions? This city worker by the way did not mention this two weeks ago when we submitted the application. Such a waste of time giving me acid stomach.

@Elizabeth Lee who knows where your blueprints may be. However, you can hire a drafter or architect (more expensive) to draw up "as builts" that can be used. If you have them create a site plan, it obviously won't be accurate as a survey, but you'll have drawings you can use for what you need. 

Let me know if you want a referral.....I have a great cost effective drafter that can help. 

Thanks, 

Mike
