Johnson City, Oregon Park-Home Sales
Johnson City in Brief
Johnson City is a tiny Clackamas County city tucked between Milwaukie, Gladstone, and Clackamas. The 2020 Census counted 539 people. Though small, it sits inside the Portland metro housing market, so buyers shopping the metro area can reach it easily.
Go On MLS lists Johnson City park homes on the MLS for a flat fee. The home is the sale item; the lot stays rented in a park deal.
How a Johnson City Sale Moves
Start with the title: a Johnson City park home counts as personal property, so DCBS shifts the ownership paper for $55 and no deed enters the picture. Taxes come next, with the county signing Form 2952 to prove they are paid, since DCBS holds the transfer until that paper arrives. Then the park steps in: under ORS 90.680, the buyer files a finished written application, and the park must answer within 7 days, or 10 days when the seller skipped the 10-day pre-sale notice. Rent rounds it out, with 90 days of written warning required before any increase, and only one increase per 12 months. These law notes are background information, not legal advice.
Questions Johnson City Sellers Ask
Does being in the metro area change the process?
No. The Oregon transfer and approval steps are statewide. Metro location changes the buyer pool and the price level, not the paperwork.
Is full service available here?
No. The $6,999 full-service tier is limited to Portland metro area, and it is not available in Johnson City. Johnson City sellers use the $99 listing tier or the $1,999 coordination tier.
What should my listing show first?
The home, the lot rent, and the park name. Metro buyers compare monthly cost first, and a missing rent figure costs you showings.

A Small City Inside a Big Market
Johnson City is tiny, but its buyers shop the whole Portland metro area, which changes the game. A metro buyer may never have heard of the city, so the listing has to carry the weight: the park name, the lot rent, the home's condition, and the fact that Milwaukie, Gladstone, and Clackamas are minutes away. Give that buyer the numbers first, and the small-city setting becomes a selling point instead of a question mark.
