Clackamas County, OR Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

020 lists more than a dozen ways a vehicle can be cited on a County roadway. ' The same section also bars parking within 12 feet of a mail box (B), leaving an unattached trailer on the highway for more than seven days (C), parking in a posted no-parking zone or against a yellow curb where the Director of the Department of Transportation and Development has authorized the sign or curb (D, E), parking other than parallel to the roadway and facing the travel direction (G), and parking with an expired registration 90 days or more (K).

030 defines the violation broadly: you commit illegal parking either by parking somewhere prohibited yourself, or by owning an unattended vehicle parked somewhere prohibited, though an owner has an affirmative defense if someone used the vehicle without permission. 040 requires the citing officer to hand the citation to the driver if present, or otherwise attach it to the vehicle and mail a copy to the registered owner within 72 hours. The citation must state the violation, the fine amount, and that the fine must be paid or a hearing requested within 14 days.

050 sets fines by Board of County Commissioners resolution and doubles any fine not paid within 14 days. 060, you can admit the violation and pay, or deny it and post bail equal to the fine to get a hearing; the Parking and Towing Hearings Officer must then set a hearing within 30 days and mail notice within 15 days of your denial. 070 lets you appear with an attorney and cross-examine evidence at that hearing, and the Hearings Officer's decision is final.
