Selling a Manufactured Home in Hillsboro, Oregon

B. Intro: Selling a Park Home in Hillsboro — The Short Version

Hillsboro sits on the west side of the Portland metro, in Washington County — Intel country, wine country, and one of Oregon's most diverse cities. Scattered along SE River Road, Minter Bridge Road, and the metro fringe are ten manufactured-home parks we could verify. You own the home. You rent the lot under it.

Two things define this market. First, the spread: published lot rents run from the metro's lowest ($555/month at Fir Tree Mobile Court) to its highest observed ($1,330/month in the Minter Bridge 55+ corridor) — so where your home sits changes everything about how you price it. Second, the turnover: listings show price drops of $2,000–$50,000 and homes sitting for months. Price against real asking prices, not wishful ones.

This guide goes deeper than the Portland-metro guide, which covers Hillsboro briefly in its city-by-city section. It gives Hillsboro-specific parks, rents, prices, and rent-increase history — and cross-links to the metro guide for metro-wide topics instead of repeating them.

When it's time to sell, you have options. You can list it yourself, hire a traditional agent, or use a flat-fee service like GoOnMLS. A GoOnMLS listing starts at $99 and puts your home on the MLS, which feeds major home-search sites.

Every number below comes from a named source, with the date it was checked. Where we don't have a number, we say so — we don't guess.

Plain-language promise: This guide is written for sellers, not salespeople. Short sentences. No jargon. If something is an estimate, we label it an estimate.

C. Hillsboro at a Glance

Hillsboro is Oregon's 5th-largest city, on the west side of the Portland metro, about 15 miles west of downtown Portland. It's the county seat of Washington County — and the city your county paperwork goes through.

Key facts about Hillsboro (all from Census-based sources, checked 2026-10-16):

• Population: 111,126 (July 1, 2025 estimate) — up 4.4% since the 2020 Census (106,447) and up 21% since 2010 (91,611).
• Median household income: $106,409/year — DataUSA (Census-based, 2024).
• Median gross rent: $1,978/month — American Community Survey 2020–2024.
• Median owner-occupied home value: $521,100 — ACS 2020–2024. A typical Hillsboro home with a mortgage costs $2,227/month.
• 11.9% of Hillsboro residents are 65 or older. Only about half of homes (50.2%) are owner-occupied — Hillsboro is a renter-heavy city.

What this means for park-home sellers: Hillsboro's park homes are the deepest-discount ownership path in a city where a typical mortgaged home costs $2,227/month — a $56,000–$145,000 park home is a fraction of the $521,100 median. That attracts buyers. But your buyers are comparing your home's price plus the monthly lot rent against a $1,781 one-bedroom apartment — and Hillsboro lot rents swing wider than anywhere else in the metro. A park-home sale with $555/month rent is a very different proposition from one with $1,330/month rent. Know your park's number (Section E) and price the home to match it (Section H).

D. Mobile-Home Parks in Hillsboro

No official city-level park inventory exists for Hillsboro. The source below is the Oregon Housing and Community Services manufactured-park registry — but it is dated July 21, 2016, so treat every space count as a 2016 figure and verify the current count with the park before quoting it.

Verified parks (OHCS registry, addresses corroborated by current listings)

• Fir Trees Mobile Home Park LLC — marketed as Fir Tree Mobile Court — 2865 SE River Rd, Hillsboro 97123 — all-ages; 64 spaces (registry, 2016 — the directory profile says 59 lots). Pet-friendly, paved streets. Lot rent $555–$725/month (see Section E).
• River Road Mobile Estates — 2681 SE River Rd, Hillsboro 97123 — 55+; 105 spaces (registry, 2016 — the tenants' association said 104 in 2025). Meeting room, exercise room, social activities. Listings at both 2681 and 2511 SE River Rd identify this community. Active resale — six homes were for sale here in 2025 (see Section F).
• Terra Buena Mobile Terrace — marketed as Terra Bruna Terrace Park — 1901 SE Minter Bridge Rd, Hillsboro 97123 — 55+; 104 spaces (registry, 2016). One listing here notes an accessible-design setup. Lot rent: $1,330/month per one listing (see Section E).
• Country Haven Manufactured Housing Community — 23585 NW Jacobson Rd, Hillsboro 97124 — 55+; 67 spaces (registry, 2016).
• Valley View Mobile Court Inc — 34265 SW Tualatin Valley Hwy, Hillsboro 97123 — all-ages; 63 spaces (registry, 2016).
• Emerald Village Mobile Home Park LLC — 2200 SE 45th Ave, Hillsboro 97123 — all-ages; 60 spaces (registry, 2016).
• Hillsboro Mobile Home Park — 159 SE Maple St, Hillsboro 97123 — all-ages; 20 spaces (registry, 2016).
• South Side Mobile Home Park — 640 SE 3rd Ave, Hillsboro 97123 — all-ages; 21 spaces (registry, 2016).
• Garden Circle Mobile Home Park — 316 SW Baseline, Hillsboro 97123 — 55+; 18 spaces (registry, 2016).
• Maple Lane Estates – Hillsboro — 535 SW Maple Ln, Hillsboro 97123 — all-ages; 19 spaces (registry, 2016).

What we don't know: No rent figures could be found for Country Haven, Valley View, Emerald Village, Hillsboro Mobile Home Park, South Side, Garden Circle, or Maple Lane. No sold-price data exists for any Hillsboro park. On the state's April 2025 list of resident-owned (cooperative) parks, no Hillsboro park appears — none of the ten parks above is a documented co-op. Just outside Hillsboro, the registry shows Reedville Mobile Home Park (1550 SW Cornelius Pass Rd, Aloha, 76 spaces) as CLOSED — a reminder that redevelopment pressure is real on this side of the metro. If your park isn't listed here, call the park office or ask a neighbor with a recent rent notice.

E. What Lot Rent Costs Right Now

Lot rent (also called space rent) is the monthly payment for the ground your home sits on. Hillsboro's published lot-rent data is sparse — and it runs high on the metro fringe. Three published figures only:

• Fir Tree Mobile Court: $555–$725/month — with utilities and trash pickup included. The lowest published range found anywhere in the Portland metro. (MHBO.com directory profile, crawled 2026-10-16. Note: MHBO is a directory, not the park — its page disclaims that fees "can change at any time without notice." Verify with the park.)
• Terra Buena corridor (1901 SE Minter Bridge Rd): $1,330/month, including garbage — per a KW.com listing for a 1970 home that had been listed 119 days. (~Early-2026 listing snapshot — treat as older, not current.) This is the highest lot-rent figure observed in this guide series' Portland-metro research — the metro-fringe skew in one number.
• "Creekside of Hillsboro" (listing address 8300 NE Quatama St): $970/month — per a current listing. (Homes.com listing, ~mid-2026.)

What we could not verify: lot rents at River Road Mobile Estates (no published base figure — only its 2023–2025 increase history, Section F), Country Haven, Valley View, Emerald Village, Hillsboro Mobile Home Park, South Side, Garden Circle, or Maple Lane. Call the park office before you buy — or price — anything. The $1,330 figure is one listing's figure, not a Hillsboro average — don't quote it as a market number.

Additional costs buyers (and sellers) should account for:

• Utilities: Fir Tree bundles utilities and trash into its rent; the Minter Bridge listing bundles garbage only. Most parks bill electricity separately — check the specific park's rules.
• No statewide real-estate transfer tax in Oregon. The transaction costs in Washington County are the $55 DCBS ownership-document fee plus $26 tax certification = $81 total (2026 fees, per the Portland-metro guide's research).
• Rent can only go up once in any 12-month period, with 90 days' written notice (ORS 90.600) — see Section F.

F. Rent History and Your Rights Under Oregon Law

This section summarizes Oregon statutes as reported by our research. It is not legal advice. Laws change — check current statute text or talk to a lawyer before acting. The Portland-metro guide carries the full metro-level treatment of Oregon manufactured-housing law.

What rents have done — Hillsboro has a real record

River Road Mobile Estates' tenants put their park's rent history into the public record during the 2025 debate over Oregon's rent-cap law (HB 3054). In testimony to the House Committee on Housing and Homelessness, the tenants' association reported lot-rent increases of 14% (January 2023), 10% (January 2024), and 10% (January 2025) — each at the maximum allowed under the old cap — while most tenants live on Social Security alone. They also reported six homes for sale in the park, several on the market for months. (Advocacy testimony, 2025 session — attributed, not independently verified.) Statewide, tenant surveys found average annual increases near 7% and industry surveys found about 5.4% over 2019–2024 — the Hillsboro example sits at the high end, and it's the only Hillsboro-specific history on record.

Oregon's current rent-increase caps (HB 3054, 2025)

Oregon now has two tracks for manufactured-dwelling parks, applying to increases taking effect in 2026 and 2027:

• Parks with MORE than 30 spaces: 6% maximum annual increase. The named Hillsboro parks with above-30 registry counts — River Road Mobile Estates (105), Terra Buena (104), Country Haven (67), Fir Tree (64), Valley View (63), Emerald Village (60) — are on this track, if those 2016 counts still hold.
• Parks with 30 or fewer spaces: 7% + CPI, capped at 10%. That's 9.5% for 2026 and 10% for 2027. Hillsboro's smaller parks — Hillsboro Mobile Home Park (20), South Side (21), Garden Circle (18), Maple Lane (19) — fall here. The Oregon Department of Administrative Services publishes the number each year by September 30.

Sources: OR Dept. of Administrative Services announcements (2025-09-30, corrected; 2026-09-28); Statesman Journal (2026-09-28).

Exemptions from the cap: the cap does not apply where the first certificate of occupancy was issued less than 15 years before the notice, or for regulated/certified affordable housing where rent is income-based — ORS 90.600(3)(a)–(b).

Infrastructure exception (parks over 30 spaces only): a one-time increase of up to 12%, allowed at most once every 5 years, and only with: a documented project with cost estimate and timeline given to tenants in writing at least 30 days before the vote; a tenant meeting at least 14 days before the vote; approval by 51% of occupied spaces (signed, space-identified ballots); and a full refund (minus the normal cap) if the project isn't substantially complete within 12 months of the estimated completion date — ORS 90.600(3)(c).

Notice and process (ORS 90.600)

• 90 days' written notice before any rent increase; increases allowed at most once in any 12-month period. The notice must state the increase amount, the new rent, facts supporting any exemption claim, and the effective date.
• Penalty for violations: the landlord is liable for 3 months' rent plus actual damages — ORS 90.600(4).
• Tenants may form a tenants' committee of up to 7 members; on written request the landlord must meet with the committee (1–2 times per calendar year) and respond in good faith in writing within 60 days — ORS 90.600(8).

Your right to sell (ORS 90.680)

Key protections when you sell your park home:

• A park may not deny you the right to sell your home on its rented space, and may not require you to remove the home solely because of the sale — ORS 90.680(2).
• If your rental agreement requires it, give the park written notice up to 10 days before the sale — ORS 90.680(8)(a).
• Buyer approval: the buyer submits a complete written application; the park must accept or reject within 7 days (10 days if you didn't give the 10-day notice). Screening criteria must be substantially similar to what the park applies to buyers of its own homes. The park may not reject unreasonably and must give written reasons (except for consumer-report rejections, where the report contents stay private) — ORS 90.680(10).
• The park may not reject a buyer or force removal because of the home's age, size, style, materials, or pre-HUD-code construction — ORS 90.680(12).
• On request, the park must give the buyer its statement of policy, the rental agreement, park rules, any outstanding repair or condition notices, lists of disrepair/deterioration and rule violations, and a statement that repairs may be required — ORS 90.680(9).
• No commissions without a written consignment contract (maximum 180 days, with specific required terms) — ORS 90.680(4). A park may not require you to consign as a condition of tenancy — ORS 90.680(3).
• The metro guide reports that HB 3054 also added limits on parks conditioning a sale on cosmetic or aesthetic changes or requiring interior inspections as a condition of sale. Cross-check the enrolled bill text before quoting this as confirmed.

Park closure (ORS 90.645)

• A park must give 365 days' written notice before closing or converting, pay relocation payments to tenants (amounts are tiered — verify current figures before quoting), impose no rent increase after a closure notice, and charge no move-out penalties or unaccrued-rent charges for tenants who leave during the notice period. On Hillsboro's metro fringe, where land values keep climbing — and where the registry already shows one nearby closure in Aloha — this is the protection worth knowing.

G. Wages vs. Housing Costs in Hillsboro

Plain-language takeaway: It takes a $36.96/hour wage to afford a typical 2-bedroom apartment in the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro metro. A median Hillsboro home costs $521,100 — $2,227/month with a mortgage. Against that, a $56,000–$145,000 park home is the cheapest ownership path in the city — but the pitch only works at the right lot rent. At $555/month, a park home is dramatically cheaper than renting; at $1,330/month, the monthly-cost advantage narrows sharply. This is why Section E matters as much as Section H: buyers do this math, so price your home against your park's actual rent.

H. What Park Homes Are Selling For

Important: Every price below is an asking price from a current listing — what the seller is asking, not what the home actually sold for. No market-wide median exists for used park homes in Hillsboro. Several listings show price drops of $2,000–$50,000, which means asking prices are often above the final sale price. We have no sold-price data.

What the sample suggests

• Price drops are the norm, not the exception. Cuts of $2,000–$50,000 appear on half this sample. A $79,900 listing was once $129,900. Price against today's asks, not last year's.
• Time on market is long. One River Road home sat 325 days on site; a Minter Bridge listing sat 119 days; River Road tenants reported six homes for sale with several sitting for months in 2025. A seller here even offered free space rent through August 2026 to move a $56,000 home — that's a slow market signal, not a data error.
• Size and condition drive price. Smaller single-wides ask $56K–$64K; larger/remodeled double-wides ask $79K–$145K. The 55+ communities (River Road, Terra Buena) hold the most activity.
• No sold-price data was available for this guide. Asking prices are the only transparent figures; what homes actually close for may differ. We will update this page when sold data is available.

I. How to Sell a Park Home in Oregon, Step by Step

Selling a manufactured home in a park is different from selling a house on land. In Oregon, your park home is personal property — like a car — not real estate. Here's how the process works. (The Portland-metro guide carries the full metro-level walkthrough; these are the Hillsboro specifics.)

1. The home is titled through an ownership document — not a deed

Oregon no longer issues vehicle-style titles for manufactured structures. (Old pre-May-2005 DOT titles still count as proof of ownership.) Instead, ownership is shown through an ownership document issued by the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services (DCBS), Building Codes Division. For used homes, the transfer application goes through the county assessor — in Hillsboro, that's the Washington County Assessor — and DCBS keeps the MHODS ownership database. When you sell, you and the buyer sign BCD form 2952 (Manufactured Home Ownership Document Application for New and Used Homes). Fees in Washington County (2026): $55 for the ownership document plus $26 for tax certification — $81 total.

Sources: ORS 446.571; ORS 446.621; oregon.gov BCD forms page; this project's Portland-metro research file.

2. After closing, the sale must be reported within 30 days

Under ORS 446.641, within 30 days after closing the seller must give the Washington County Assessor a DCBS-approved notice of sale including: the identities of seller and buyer, the ownership document, a copy of the bill of sale, security-interest acknowledgments, and proof that all property taxes and special assessments are paid (county tax certification). The assessor forwards it to DCBS, which updates the ownership record. If the seller doesn't file, the buyer may file the notice — but the seller still faces a civil penalty.

3. The park must approve your buyer

This is the step that surprises most sellers. Under ORS 90.680 (see Section F):

• Give the park written notice up to 10 days before the sale if your rental agreement requires it.
• Your buyer submits a complete written application to the park before the sale closes — and may not move in until accepted.
• The park must accept or reject within 7 days (10 days if you didn't give the 10-day notice).
• The park's screening must be substantially similar to what it applies to buyers of its own homes — no unreasonable rejection, and written reasons are required.
• The park cannot reject because of the home's age, size, style, materials, or pre-HUD-code construction.
• Before the buyer is accepted, any back rent, fees, deposits, or charges you owe the park must be paid — plan for this at closing.

Tip: Talk to your park office early. Ask for the buyer-application packet and the park's statement of policy before you list, so there are no surprises after you find a buyer.

4. Disclosures

Oregon's standard statutory seller-disclosure form (ORS 105.464) applies to a manufactured dwelling only when the seller also owns the land (ORS 105.465). A park-home sale — home owned, land leased — is outside the statutory form. That doesn't mean silence: general fraud and misrepresentation law still applies, pre-1978 homes need the federal lead-paint disclosure, and the park must give your buyer its policy, rental agreement, rules, and repair/condition lists under ORS 90.680(9).

5. Watch out for the dealer-license trap

Oregon law says acting as an agent to sell someone else's manufactured structure without a manufactured-structure dealer license is a Class A misdemeanor (ORS 446.671). The private-owner exception (ORS 446.676) covers only owners selling their own home for personal, family, or household use. A regular real-estate license alone doesn't cover it either — the exception for real-estate licensees applies only to homes that are real property (deed-recorded), not park homes (ORS 446.676). The industry association's guidance puts it plainly: "If a manufactured structure is sold separate from the sale of the land, this is considered a personal property transaction and requires an MSD [manufactured structure dealer] license." (MHCO, "Dealer's License — What You Need to Know.")

What this means for you: make sure whoever lists your park home is properly licensed for this exact kind of sale. GoOnMLS operates under the required dealer licensing (details will be updated upon final approval). Ask any agent or service you consider the same question — and get the answer in writing.

6. Post your for-sale sign

Oregon law gives you the right to post for-sale signs, subject to the park's reasonable size and placement rules — ORS 90.680(5).

Good news on taxes: Oregon has no statewide real-estate transfer tax and no sales tax. Because a park home is personal property with no deed to record, county recording transfer taxes don't apply either.

J. GoOnMLS Options and Pricing

GoOnMLS lists mobile and manufactured homes in Oregon parks and on leased land only — never land sales. You keep control of the sale; we handle the listing and the paperwork tiers you choose.

Pricing (cumulative — each tier includes everything below it)

• $99 — MLS listing. Your home listed on the MLS with 2 photos.
• $199 — MLS listing + media package. Everything above, plus up to 50 photos and a 3-minute video. You shoot the photos and video on your phone; we edit, post to YouTube, and link it to the MLS listing.
• $1,999 — MLS listing + media + transaction coordination. Everything above, plus help with the purchase agreement, DocuSign, and escrow coordination.
• $6,999 — Full service. That tier (signs, flyers, lockbox, buyer qualifying, showings — you only sign; $6,999 at closing, zero upfront, $199 media fee waived) is available throughout the Portland metro, including Hillsboro.

How your listing is distributed

Listings are distributed through MyStateMLS, which feeds major listing sites. We do not guarantee that your listing will appear on any specific site — distribution depends on listing type and eligibility, and we will tell you plainly what applies to your listing.

Licensing note: GoOnMLS operates under the required dealer licensing (details will be updated upon final approval). We will never assert a license number until it's confirmed.

Honest limits

• We can't guarantee your home will sell, how fast, or at what price.
• We can't guarantee your listing appears on any specific website. Distribution goes through MyStateMLS and depends on the listing type and eligibility rules.
• Commission comparisons elsewhere on this page are for illustration only — actual fees are negotiable and vary.

K. DIY Flat Fee vs. a Traditional Agent

There's no single right way to sell. Here's a neutral comparison.

Flat-fee MLS listing (GoOnMLS, starting at $99):

• You pay a fixed fee. No percentage of the sale price.
• Your home appears on the MLS, which feeds major home-search sites (subject to listing type and eligibility — see Section J).
• You handle inquiries, showings, and negotiations yourself (unless you choose a higher tier).
• Best fit: sellers comfortable with a phone and a little paperwork, or sellers whose home is priced to move.

Traditional full-service agent:

• The agent handles photos, showings, negotiations, and paperwork.
• The listing commission is a percentage of the sale price — negotiable, and it varies. For illustration only: a 2.5–3% listing commission on a $100,000 Hillsboro home would be $2,500–$3,000. Your actual fee may be higher or lower — commissions are negotiable and vary by agent and market.
• Best fit: sellers who want someone else to run the whole process.

Neither choice is "better" in the abstract. A traditional agent earns their fee when the service saves you time or gets you a better outcome; a flat fee makes sense when you'd rather keep the difference and do the legwork. Pick the one that fits your situation.

One caution that applies to both: whoever sells your park home needs the right license for manufactured structures sold without land (see the dealer-license note in Section I). Ask, and get the answer in writing.

L. Your Selling Checklist

1. Find your ownership document. Locate your DCBS ownership document (or old pre-2005 title). If it's lost, contact DCBS Building Codes Division about a replacement before you list.
2. Check your property taxes. Make sure all property taxes and special assessments on the home are paid — you'll need Washington County tax certification at closing ($26 of the $81 total in county/state fees).
3. Talk to your park office. Ask for the buyer-application packet, the statement of policy, the rental agreement, and the park rules. Ask what the current space rent is and whether an increase is scheduled — get it in writing.
4. Price the home. Look at asking prices for similar homes in your park and nearby parks (Section H) — and remember the spread: $56K–$145K across the sample, with drops of $2K–$50K common. Price against your park's lot rent, not just the home's features. Remember: asking is not selling — several Hillsboro listings sat for months.
5. Get the home ready. Clean thoroughly. Fix what's broken. For older homes, small repairs (skirting, steps, paint) pay back more than big remodels.
6. Photograph and list. Good daylight photos of every room, the exterior, and the park. List on the MLS through GoOnMLS (from $99) or your chosen service.
7. Show the home. Be available. Keep it clean and lit for every showing.
8. Get offers in writing. Use a written purchase agreement. Decide in advance your lowest acceptable price.
9. Buyer applies to the park. Your buyer submits the park application; the park has 7 days to decide (10 if you skipped the 10-day seller notice). Don't count the sale as done until the park approves. Any back rent or fees you owe must be paid before the buyer is accepted.
10. Close and report. Sign the bill of sale. Within 30 days after closing, file the DCBS-approved notice of sale with the Washington County Assessor, with proof taxes are paid.

N. Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to sell my mobile home in a Hillsboro park with GoOnMLS?

A basic MLS listing is $99 (2 photos). $199 adds a media package (up to 50 photos + a 3-minute video — you shoot, we edit). $1,999 adds transaction coordination (purchase-agreement help, DocuSign, escrow). The $6,999 full-service tier is available in Hillsboro — it's offered throughout the Portland metro. See Section J for details.

Will my listing appear on Zillow?

Listings are distributed through MyStateMLS, which feeds major listing sites. We can't guarantee your home will appear on any specific site — it depends on listing type and eligibility.

Do I own the land under my mobile home?

In most Hillsboro parks, no — you own the home and rent the lot (space rent; the published 2026 figures we found are $555–$725/month at Fir Tree, $970 at one Quatama-area listing, and $1,330 in one Minter Bridge listing — call your park for its current figure). Your home is personal property, titled through an ownership document — not a deed. (See Section I.)

Can my park stop me from selling?

No. Under ORS 90.680, a park may not deny your right to sell the home on its rented space, and may not require removal just because of the sale. The park does get to approve your buyer through its normal application process (7-day decision). (See Section F.)

Can the park reject my buyer because my home is old?

No. ORS 90.680(12) bars the park from rejecting a buyer or forcing removal because of the home's age, size, style, materials, or pre-HUD-code construction.

How much can my park raise the lot rent?

For parks with more than 30 spaces, HB 3054 caps annual increases at 6% for increases taking effect in 2026 and 2027 — that includes River Road Mobile Estates, Terra Buena, Country Haven, Fir Tree, Valley View, and Emerald Village (verify each park's current space count, since the registry counts are from 2016). For parks with 30 or fewer spaces, the cap is 7% + CPI, capped at 10% (9.5% for 2026, 10% for 2027) — that includes the smaller Hillsboro parks (Hillsboro MHP, South Side, Garden Circle, Maple Lane). Exemptions exist (see Section F).

How much have lot rents gone up in Hillsboro?

The only Hillsboro-specific record: River Road Mobile Estates' tenants reported 14% (2023), 10% (2024), and 10% (2025) increases — each at the old cap — in 2025 testimony on the rent-cap law. That history is part of why Oregon tightened the caps. Statewide averages ran roughly 5–7% a year over the same period. (See Section F.)

What are park homes actually selling for in Hillsboro?

We only have asking prices, not sold prices. In 2026 listings: smaller single-wides asked $56,000–$64,000, mid-size homes asked $79,900–$90,000, and larger/remodeled double-wides asked $114,900–$145,000. Price drops of $2,000–$50,000 were common, and some homes sat for months. (See Section H.)

Why are some asking prices so far apart?

The park's lot rent is the biggest hidden driver: a home at $555/month rent (Fir Tree) can ask more than an identical home at $1,330/month rent (Minter Bridge corridor) — buyers compare total monthly cost, not just the price tag. Size, age, and condition matter too, but rent is what surprises sellers.

Do I need a real-estate agent to sell my park home?

No — but whoever handles the sale needs the right license. Selling someone else's manufactured structure without a manufactured-structure dealer license is a Class A misdemeanor in Oregon (ORS 446.671), and a standard real-estate license alone doesn't cover park homes. Ask any service or agent for their licensing in writing. (See Section I.)

What paperwork is due after the sale?

Within 30 days after closing, the seller must file a DCBS-approved notice of sale with the Washington County Assessor, including the bill of sale and proof all property taxes are paid (ORS 446.641).

I'm not good with computers. Can I still use GoOnMLS?

Yes. The $99 listing needs only a phone call and a couple of photos. For the $199 media package, you shoot photos/video on your phone and we handle the editing and posting. Call (971) 466-6657 and we'll walk you through it.

O. Conclusion: What to Do Next

Selling a manufactured home in a Hillsboro park is a personal-property sale with a park-approval step — not a regular house sale. Know your park's rent and rules (call the office — most Hillsboro parks publish nothing), price against real asking prices (drops of $2,000–$50,000 and months on the market say the market punishes optimistic pricing), and remember that your lot rent — anywhere from $555 to $1,330/month in the published record — is what buyers really compare. Make sure whoever lists your home is licensed for exactly this kind of sale.

P. Sources, Methodology, and Data Dates

Research date: 2026-10-16. Every figure in this guide is as-reported by the named source below. Nothing was invented or estimated unless labeled as such.

• City profile: Census Bureau QuickFacts, Hillsboro city, Oregon (July 2025 population estimate; ACS 2020–2024) — crawled 2026-10-16; DataUSA Hillsboro profile (2024 ACS); City of Hillsboro economic-development demographic page (hillsboro-oregon.gov); ApartmentList Hillsboro page (Oct 2026).
• Park directory: OHCS manufactured-dwelling-park registry (data.oregon.gov, dataset "Oregon Manufactured Dwelling Parks as of July 21, 2016," downloaded 2026-10-16 — space counts and statuses are 2016 figures; OHCS disclaims verification); OHCS April 2025 preserved-parks list (digitalcollections.library.oregon.gov); MHBO.com Fir Tree Mobile Court profile (crawled 2026-10-16); Homes.com and KW.com Hillsboro listings (2026).
• Lot rents: MHBO.com (Fir Tree $555–$725, crawled 2026-10-16 — directory, not the park); KW.com 1901 SE Minter Bridge Rd #72 listing ($1,330/mo incl. garbage, ~early-2026 snapshot); Homes.com 8300 NE Quatama St Unit 104 listing ($970/mo, ~mid-2026). No published rent found for River Road Mobile Estates or seven other parks — disclosed, not papered over.
• Rent history: River Road Mobile Estates tenants' HB 3054 testimony, apps.oregonlegislature.gov (2025R1 Public Testimony Document 118236) — advocacy testimony, attributed as such.
• Oregon law: ORS 90.600, 90.645, 90.680, 105.464, 105.465, 446.571, 446.621, 446.641, 446.671, 446.676 — 2025 text via Justia / oregon.public.law, per this project's Bend and Portland-metro research (verified 2026-10-16); HB 3054 (2025) via OR Dept. of Administrative Services announcements (2025-09-30 corrected; 2026-09-28), Statesman Journal (2026-09-28). This is research, not legal advice.
• Wages and housing costs: Census QuickFacts (ACS 2020–2024); DataUSA; ApartmentList; NLIHC "Out of Reach 2026" (HUD FY2026) — Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro MSA housing wage $36.96.
• Selling process / licensing: ORS 446.571, 446.621, 446.641, 446.671, 446.676; BCD form 2952; Washington County 2026 fees ($55 + $26 = $81, per the Portland-metro guide's research); MHCO "Dealer's License — What You Need to Know" (mhco.org).
• Asking prices: Homes.com Hillsboro mobile-homes pages (2026 crawls); KW.com Hillsboro listings (2026); this project's Portland-metro research sample. All prices are ASKING prices — no sold-price data found; no market median exists.
• Methodology: All park rents are published rents from listings/directories (only three Hillsboro figures found). Space counts shown only where a source stated them, with the 2016-registry caveat on every one. The $1,330/mo figure is presented as one listing's figure, never as a Hillsboro average. The OHCS registry's naming (Fir Trees Mobile Home Park LLC / Terra Buena Mobile Terrace) is reconciled to marketed names in the guide text.

Known data gaps (disclosed, not papered over): (1) Only three published lot-rent figures in Hillsboro — no market rent range exists. (2) No current base rent for River Road Mobile Estates (only its 2023–2025 increase history). (3) No rent figures for seven of ten verified parks. (4) OHCS registry space counts and statuses are from July 2016 — a decade old; every count must be re-verified with the park. (5) No sold-price data — everything is asking price. (6) Two listings (2511 SE River Rd Unit 97 at $114,900; the $1,330/mo KW listing) come from ~185–251-day-old crawls — flagged as early-2026 snapshots. (7) The relationship between "Creekside Estates of Hillsboro" (registry, Beaverton address) and the "Creekside of Hillsboro" named in the 8300 NE Quatama St listing is unverified — kept separate. (8) HB 3054's cosmetic-change/interior-inspection sale provisions should be cross-checked against the enrolled bill before quoting as confirmed. (9) No Hillsboro park is on the April 2025 resident-owned co-op list; no Hillsboro-specific park closure documented beyond the adjacent Aloha closure on the 2016 registry.
