If you purchase the property, I can assist with building permits/drawings and construction

First, you need to know if you are in the incorporated Tigard city limits. If so, you want to contact the city planning department. Otherwise, you'll need to contact Washington County planning in Hillsboro. Make sure you get permits to do this - the fines are stiff if you try to build without them and it will come back to haunt you when you sell.

Great answer. If you do not know of any CC&R's (covenants conditions and restrictions) on the property you can go to Washington County in Hillsboro or call a Title Company such as Lawyers Title and they will get them for you. Good luck! By the way building a shop for your Husband is awesome!

Be sure to have the address or Tax ID handy. The property may also be encumbered by neighborhood codes, covenants, and restrictions (CC&Rs) that may or may not provide for additional structures to be built. The city will likely not have that information available, so you need to check that out separately.
