Beaverton Code Chapter 6 (Traffic - Parking) sets the city's street-parking rules. Vehicles must park parallel to the curb, headed in the direction of lawful traffic, with curbside wheels within 12 inches of the curb. Vehicles must hold current registration; a vehicle that has not moved within 48 hours and appears inoperable, lacks current registration, or is not registered to a nearby address is considered abandoned and subject to tow. The Beaverton Police Department enforces street parking; there is no separate transportation bureau.
Beaverton's street-parking framework lives in Beaverton Code (BC) Chapter 6 (Traffic), parking article. Standard rules: vehicles must park parallel to the curb (unless marked for angle parking), headed in the direction of lawful traffic, with the curbside wheels within 12 inches of the curb edge; where parking spaces are marked, vehicles must park within a single marked space. Vehicles without current license plates, or with registration expired more than one month, may not be parked on Beaverton public streets. A vehicle is deemed abandoned if it remains on any street for more than 48 hours and either appears incapable of self-propulsion, lacks current registration, or is not registered to a nearby address; abandoned vehicles are subject to tow under the standard Oregon abandoned-vehicle procedure (ORS 819.110). Parking on sidewalks, curbs, planting strips, or medians within the public right-of-way is prohibited. Mailbox clearance: vehicles must leave 10 feet of clear access on each side of a mailbox from 8 AM to 6 PM (except Sundays and federal holidays). Recreational vehicles, trailers, boats, and similar non-transportation devices on public streets must be moved at least one-tenth of a mile within any 48-hour period. Motor trucks (as defined by the Oregon Vehicle Code) may not park on Beaverton streets in front of or adjacent to residences, motels, apartment houses, hotels, or other sleeping accommodations between 9 PM and 7 AM. Enforcement is by the Beaverton Police Department; Beaverton does not have a separate transportation bureau like Portland's PBOT.
Street parking violations are enforced by the Beaverton Police Department through citations, with fines set by the Beaverton municipal court fee schedule. Abandoned vehicles meeting the 48-hour standard may be towed at the owner's expense under Beaverton Code Chapter 6 and ORS 819.110. Repeated violations and unpaid citations may lead to additional collection action and DMV holds.
