Washington County and most cities allow OLCC-licensed cannabis retailers in commercial zones with state-mandated 1,000-ft school buffers. Hillsboro, Beaverton, Tigard, and Tualatin host dispensaries; Sherwood and Forest Grove have historically restricted. CDC §430 applies to unincorporated lands.
Oregon recreational cannabis is regulated by the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC) under ORS Chapter 475B. State law requires a minimum 1,000-foot buffer between dispensaries and primary or secondary schools (ORS 475B.096). Cities may opt out of allowing dispensaries via ordinance but must refer such bans to voters if passed after the 2015 implementation. Washington County unincorporated areas permit cannabis retail in commercial zones (GC, CBD) through CDC §430 conditional use process. Beaverton BC 6.08 and BDC 60 allow dispensaries in CS and Regional Center zones; Hillsboro permits retail in commercial zones with Director review; Tigard TDC 18.735 allows in commercial zones subject to buffers; Tualatin TDC permits in limited commercial. Sherwood historically banned recreational cannabis retail within city limits (voters upheld); Cornelius and North Plains similar. Beaverton, Hillsboro, and Tigard have active retail markets concentrated along Tualatin Valley Hwy, Cornell Rd, and 99W. Security requirements under OLCC rule OAR 845-025: continuous video surveillance, alarm system, restricted-access limits. Advertising restrictions under ORS 475B.215 prohibit marketing to minors, outdoor advertising near schools. Hours typically 8 AM-10 PM per OLCC; individual cities can require narrower hours. Local taxes: Oregon's state 17% retail tax plus up to 3% local tax (Washington County imposes 3% countywide under ORS 475B.491).
Unlicensed retail sale: OLCC closure plus criminal charges under ORS 475B.301 (Class A misdemeanor-felony by amount). Buffer violation: license revocation. Local zoning violation: $500-$5,000 plus closure.
