Present Duties

The board assures that people practicing architecture in Oregon meet qualifications and registration requirements. They determine standards for architect and architectural firm registration, which consist of a combination of education, examination and experience. The agency enforces the laws governing the practice of architecture in Oregon by investigating alleged violations and disciplining those who violate the law. The agency is headquartered in Salem and employs four staff.
