RV parking rules in Tigard

Tigard RV parking at a glance

Overnight street parking

TMC 10.28.030 normally bars covered vehicles from remaining more than 30 minutes between midnight and 6 a.m. It covers motorhomes, vehicles with campers and trailers, whether attended or unattended. Daytime parking still must meet signs and other traffic rules.

Resident and guest exception

A camper, travel trailer or motorhome may exceed that overnight limit when owned by the resident or the resident’s guest, parked on the street adjacent to that resident’s lot, and parked no more than 10 days during a calendar year. This is a parking exception, not an express sleeping permit.

Traffic, slides and repairs

Do not obstruct traffic, driver views or pedestrians. Slides, canopies and retractable steps must not create pedestrian hazards. Street washing, greasing and repairs are prohibited except emergency repairs. Private-lot storage, occupied use and hookups need separate zoning and permit confirmation.

Who to contact for your setup

Ask Tigard Planning or Code Enforcement to confirm jurisdiction, the actual parcel or road, vehicle classification, position, duration and intended use. Obtain the required road, building, electrical, plumbing or wastewater approvals before relying on a parking exception. Easements, HOA rules and leases remain separate. Start with the official rule or permit guidance.

Use the Tigard parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
