Neither Tigard nor Washington County enforces breed-specific legislation. Oregon state law (ORS 609.095) uses behavior-based criteria for potentially dangerous dogs rather than breed bans. Oregon does not preempt local breed bans, but Tigard has not enacted any.
Unlike California, Oregon does not have a statewide preemption of breed-specific legislation. However, most Oregon cities follow the behavior-based approach under ORS 609.098 for potentially dangerous dogs. Few Oregon cities have enacted breed-specific ordinances. Tigard likely uses behavior-based designations. Dangerous dog owners must meet strict containment, insurance, and registration requirements. Dog-related incidents are handled by local animal control.
Dangerous dog violations: fines $500 to $2,500. Containment failure: additional fines. Serious attack: possible criminal charges under ORS 609.098.
