What applies at a Ashland address, read from the code and agency pages themselves. Rules change, so confirm with the city or county before relying on them.
New stove or insert on an old chimney
Ashland will not issue a permit to reuse an existing chimney with a new fuel-burning appliance until a chimney sweep or masonry contractor registered with the Oregon CCB has cleaned and inspected it. The contractor then gives the Building Safety Division written verification that the chimney is safe for that appliance. This is city policy BD-PP-0006.

The contractor then gives the Building Safety Division written verification that the chimney is safe for that appliance.
