Tigard, OR Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Under Tigard Municipal Code (TMC) Chapter 10.28, no vehicle, including a recreational vehicle, may be parked or stored on a public street for more than 72 continuous hours. TMC 7.60.010 defines 'stored' or 'storage' as any vehicle that has remained in the same location for a minimum of 72 hours, and a vehicle parked beyond that threshold is subject to citation and tow under TMC Chapter 7.60. A targeted exemption applies to recreational vehicles: under TMC 10.28.030, a camper, travel trailer, or motorhome may be parked on a public street longer than the standard 72-hour storage period if (a) it is owned by the resident or a guest of the resident of the property in front of which it is parked, (b) it is parked on the public street adjacent to the lot of the resident, and (c) it is parked on the public street no longer than 10 days in any calendar year. Once the 10-day allowance is exhausted, the RV may not be parked or left standing for more than 30 minutes between 12 a.m. and 6 a.m. Even during the 10-day window, the underlying TMC 7.60.010 rule that a vehicle cannot remain in the same location longer than 72 hours within the allowed 10 days continues to apply, so the RV must be moved during that period. The Tigard Police Department enforces street parking and may issue citations and arrange a tow for vehicles in violation. Storage of RVs and boats on private residential property is governed by the Tigard Community Development Code (Title 18), not by TMC Chapter 10.28; CDC standards require off-street vehicle storage areas to be on a paved or all-weather surface in the side or rear yard rather than in the required front yard.
