Purpose

Volunteers play a vital role in delivering services to our community.  The City of Corvallis is firmly committed to the safety and well-being of our volunteers.  Additionally, the City provides insurance coverage which protects the City and our volunteers and ensures volunteers are informed of their responsibilities and those of the City.

Scope

This Policy applies to all City Departments.

Bike Month is back! 

Nationally celebrated since 1956, and embraced in Corvallis for decades, this event has continually been the unofficial beginning of peak biking season since inception. 

Each year during May, we are encouraging people to get out and ride for fun and exercise, as well as for errands and trips.

Community Calendar of Events

For further incentive, we also invite you to participate in a dynamic lineup of community events, rides and good ol' fashion bike fun.

March 20, 2026 - The Corvallis Fire Department has successfully completed a community wildfire risk reduction project serving a manufactured home community within the Corvallis Rural Fire Protection District, funded through an Oregon State Fire Marshal Community Wildfire Risk Reduction (CWRR) grant.

The video from the March 17 community grants webinar is now available to view online. Grant applicants are encouraged to review the video to learn more about the two grant programs that are accepting applications through March 31.

Corvallis, OR - For the tenth time since becoming accredited in March of 1995, the Corvallis Police Department has once again been awarded CALEA reaccreditation, marking an incredible milestone of 30 consecutive years of accredited status. Founded in 1979, the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) law enforcement accreditation process focuses on standards that provide best practices related to life, health, and safety procedures, and is considered the gold standard in police accreditation.

Our annual maintenance week shut down is scheduled for March 21-27. During this time we will not be having open hours. We will be cleaning, counting and inspecting.

It is a time when the city maintenance team comes in to inspect and certify the kitchen, HVAC and other systems as well as make proactive repairs. Our team also works on purging closets, organizing cupboards and counting equipment.

We will do our best to answer the phones between 8am-5pm, but if we are away counting chairs, please leave a message. We will get back to you and appreciate your patience!

New: The City is transitioning to license plate-based (digital) parking permits and away from stickers, hangtags, and paper. A new online parking permit portal for applying, managing, and renewing most parking permits will be available soon. Until then, please visit us in person. See below for more information.
