What shapes a project in Medford

Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.

  1. Mostly single-family houses

    Census estimates for 2020 to 2024 put Medford's median build year at 1984. About 64 percent of housing units are single-family detached houses, and about 46 percent of homes were built before 1980.

  2. Re-roof permit policy

    Medford's residential re-roof policy, last revised in April 2023, requires a permit for buildings with three or more dwelling units other than townhomes, homes more than three stories tall, homes that must have a fire-resistive roof, and when tile or any roof over 7.5 pounds per square foot is installed on a home that has a shingle, shake or composition roof.

  3. Historic preservation overlay

    Medford's Landmarks and Historic Preservation Commission reviews exterior alterations, new construction, demolition and relocation within the city's Historic Preservation Overlay. Medford's list of work that needs no permit covers painting only on buildings that are not historic landmarks, so check first if your building is a landmark.
