Key rule: In Tigard, a storage container or drop box in the street counts as an encroachment and needs an encroachment permit from the city engineer, and it must sit 6 to 12 inches from the curb with reflectors and traffic cones.
In Tigard, the code treats a shipping container, dumpster, drop box or similar storage container in the right-of-way as an encroachment, which needs a permit from the city engineer; an approved container must sit 6 to 12 inches from the curb, stay out of travel and bike lanes, and carry reflectors with traffic cones at its ends.
