Multnomah County does not have a specific RV parking ordinance for unincorporated areas beyond Oregon state law. Oregon state law (ORS 197.493) addresses RV occupancy on private property. Living in an RV long-term on private property may require a land use permit in some zones.
In unincorporated Multnomah County, RV parking on private property is governed by county zoning code (Chapter 39) and Oregon state law ORS 197.493. Long-term occupancy (living) in an RV on private property is regulated β some rural zones allow this under certain conditions; residential zones generally prohibit it. Temporary RV parking for recreational purposes on private property is generally allowed without permits. RVs on county road rights-of-way are subject to Oregon state traffic laws. Contact Multnomah County Land Use Planning for zone-specific RV occupancy allowances: 503-988-3043.
Code compliance notice with correction period. Fines $100 to $500/day after notice. Towing for street violations.
