The build-up method is a powerful class of propagation rules that generate self-dual codes over finite fields and unitary rings. Recently, it was extended to non-unitary rings of order 4, to generate quasi self-dual codes. In the present paper, we introduce three such propagation rules to generate self-orthogonal, self-dual and quasi self-dual codes over a special non-unitary ring of order 9. As an application, we classify the three categories of codes completely in length at most 3, and partially in lengths 4 and 5, up to monomial equivalence.
