A: Contact the Planning Department at (503) 681-6153. Be prepared to give the street address or the Tax Lot I.D. of the property. Or, visit Hillsboro Maps to look up your address online. If the property is outside the city limits, you will be advised to call Washington County Dept. of Land Use and Transportation at (503) 846-8761 for County zoning.

A: Property lines can only be located accurately by finding the property pins at the corners of the property. Call the Planning Department at (503) 681-6153 (with the street address) to obtain the approximate dimensions of the property according to the Washington County Tax Maps, and the width of the street right-of-way in front of the property. If the street in front of the property has curbs, begin looking for any property pins inside the curb. In many cases, you may start at approximately one-half the difference between the width of the right-of-way and the width of the street. If the street has a planter strip between the curb and the sidewalk, the property pins may be just inside the inside edge of the sidewalk. If you are unable to locate the property pins, you may need to hire a private surveyor.
