Cannabis delivery in Portland is regulated by the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC) under OAR 845-025-2880 et seq. Only an OLCC-licensed cannabis retailer with an approved Retailer Home Delivery Registration may deliver, and only to a residence within the same jurisdiction (city) as the licensed retail store. Portland requires retailers to register with the city under PCC Chapter 6.07 (Marijuana Tax) and Title 33 zoning compliance.
Cannabis home delivery in Oregon is authorized by ORS 475C.085 and detailed in OAR Chapter 845 Division 25 (OLCC Recreational Marijuana Rules), specifically OAR 845-025-2880 ('Retailer Home Delivery'). Key rules: (1) Only an OLCC-licensed cannabis retailer with a separate Retailer Home Delivery Registration may deliver; third-party services and apps cannot. (2) Delivery is restricted to the local jurisdiction (city or unincorporated county) in which the retailer's storefront is licensed -- an OLCC retailer licensed in Portland may deliver to Portland residences but not to Beaverton or Gresham. (3) Delivery may only be made to a residence (private home or apartment), not to a hotel, dorm, public-housing or government-owned residence, or any public place. (4) The recipient must be 21 or older and provide valid government ID; no delivery may be made if the recipient appears intoxicated. (5) A single residence may receive no more than $100 of cannabis product in a single day. (6) Drivers must complete a manifest, carry it during the run, and may not deviate from the route. (7) Vehicles must be unmarked. Portland imposes a 3% local cannabis tax (PCC Chapter 7.02 / 6.07) on retail sales including delivered orders, and retailers must register with the Portland Revenue Division. Portland zoning (Title 33) requires the storefront to be in a permitted commercial or mixed-use zone with 1,000-foot school buffer. Onsite consumption is prohibited; there are no licensed delivery-only operators.
Delivering cannabis without an OLCC Retailer Home Delivery Registration is a violation of ORS 475C.085 and OAR 845-025-2880, punishable by OLCC license suspension or revocation and civil penalties up to $4,950 per violation under OAR 845-025-8550. Delivery outside the licensed jurisdiction, to a non-residence, or to a person under 21 is a separate Category I violation. Failure to remit Portland's 3% local tax violates PCC 6.07.
