Yes, Washington County Ordinance 8.12.127 requires revocation of your permit for failure to pay any fee, fine, or penalty within 90 days. The ordinance also allows the sheriff to revoke your alarm permit for excessive false alarms during any rolling 12-month period.
In addition, any unpaid false alarm fines that caused the revocation may be sent to collections. When this happens, the alarm user must pay off the balance of their alarm account, as well as any related collection charges before the account can be removed from "revoked" status.
Yes. Foster children can get WIC until the age of five.
Yes, rental properties are eligible for the program with approval from the property owner. For renter households who qualify for a grant (free replacement), the property owner is required to contribute 20% of the total project costs (approximately $600-$1000).

The scope of this project is solely on 192nd Avenue, between Tualatin Valley Highway and Trelane Street. To propose additional pedestrian improvements, please submit a Pedestrian and Biking Improvement Proposal Form.
Though HB 4401 does benefit tenants, legislative and programmatic design for this program allows only for landlords to apply. We encourage tenants to advocate and inform their landlords of the program (summary program information here). A great time to do this would be when returning the Declaration of Financial Hardship for Eviction Protection form.
OHCS also encourages tenants to contact 211 or visit 211info.org to discuss available rental subsidy programs for tenants in your local community. Tenants may want to apply for assistance individually through these programs if their landlord chooses not to apply for assistance through the LCF.
The short answer is "no." Instead, Washington County and the City of Hillsboro have focused on ensuring that our communities remain great places to start or grow a business. Through the Strategic Investment Program, the Oregon Legislature has enabled the city and county to successfully attract and retain capital-intensive industries and high-wage jobs benefiting the entire state but focused here in our community.
One of our main goals of this project is to provide a safe sidewalk for pedestrian use while minimizing impacts to private property. We try to do this by locating the sidewalk in the existing right-of-way so there is minimal (or no) acquisition of private property. At this time, the project is still in the design phase.
West Union is an urban arterial; the speed limit is 45 west of 185th to Dick Road, which is appropriate for this road classification. (See our Road Classifications infographic.) Engineering studies have shown that motorists drive at a speed they feel is comfortable for the conditions, often regardless of what speed is posted on the signs. To avoid a speed trap, Oregon laws direct that speed zones must not vary significantly from the speed that the majority (85%) of traffic is traveling. Read the Oregon Department Transportation (ODOT) FAQs on speed zoning.
Our most recent speed study in this area of West Union Road was done on March 9, 2023. The 85th percentile speed was 50 mph. The average speed was 45 mph.
Speeding is a choice that drivers make and changing driver behavior is most effectively achieved through enforcement. We encourage you to contact the Washington County Sheriff’s Office to provide extra enforcement. Request additional enforcement online.
Potentially changing the posted speed limit requires a process that can take up to/longer than a year. The final determination follows an investigative process outlined in the Oregon Administrative Rule, which gives ODOT the responsibility for making a final determination.
Changing the posted speed on West Union should be considered separately from the West Union Road/Neakahnie Avenue project.
Our lighting designer is still examining options. We will have more detail to share on lighting type proposed for this project at the next stage of design, when we reach 60% completion. We will host a second open house at that time.
While Washington County cannot be a traditional co-signer on a lease for a participant, the RLRA program components work together to cover the risks that a co-signer is typically used for.
A co-signer is responsible for the rent if a tenant does not pay, which is the function of the voucher. The voucher always covers the same amount of rent, and that will always be sent to the landlord. If the tenant is unable to cover their portion, the case manager is there to work with the tenant to access additional resources to cover their portion.
Yes! Call us at 503-846-4903 for more information and to schedule. We offer on-site presentations for virtually any group or organization within Washington County. The speaker can provide information about addiction and problem gambling. Evening and weekend presentations are available.
These projects only allow for new sidewalk to be build on one side.
The Washington County Community Development Code does not regulate vacant and/or abandoned homes. Additionally there are no regulations in place to compel landowners to remove neglected buildings beyond securing the property's perimeter with fencing. For concerns regarding vegetation or fire hazards contact Health & Human Services code enforcement.
Property line disputes are civil issues and need to be resolved between affected parties accordingly. Residents may be eligible for free mediation services at Beaverton Center for Mediation and Dialogue (east of 185th Avenue) and Hillsboro Mediation Program (west of 185th Avenue).
