Rainier, Oregon: River-Town Park Homes for Sale

Rainier in Brief

Rainier is a Columbia River town in Columbia County. The 2020 Census counted 1,911 people. It sits on Highway 30, across the river from Washington, with a small downtown and a working waterfront feel. For manufactured-home sellers, Rainier has a real advantage: three named mobile home parks sit inside the Rainier address area.

As with every guide here, this page covers homes in parks. The home belongs to you. The lot remains rented. Land is not sold with the home.

What Listing Costs in Rainier

Go On MLS offers a $99 MLS listing as its entry tier. Your home goes on MyStateMLS with up to 20 photos, then out to 135+ listing sites including Google. You field inquiries and show the home yourself.

Step up to $1,999 and you add purchase-agreement help, DocuSign, and escrow coordination. The $6,999 full-service tier is limited to Portland metro area, so it is not available in Rainier. Rainier sellers use the $99 or $1,999 tiers.

Three Rainier Parks

All three parks below appear in a single operator listing for Rainier, with addresses and phone numbers published. No lot rents were stated in that listing, so we quote none here. Ask each park office for its current rent.

• Fernview Mobile Home Park — 74380 Fern Hill Road, Rainier, OR 97048. Listed as an all-ages park. We could not locate a published rent. Have the park office confirm the current rent.
• J&M Mobile Home Park — 75883 Price Road, Rainier, OR 97048. Listed as an all-ages park. No rent figure was published. Have the park office confirm the current rent.
• Western Hills Mobile Home Park — 74866 Doan Road, Rainier, OR 97048. Listed as an all-ages park. We found no published rent. Get the current figure from the park office.

One caution from the record: an older sale listing described J&M Parks as a 55+ park with 29 spaces. The current operator listing says all ages. Age rules can change, so confirm the current rule with the office before you promise a buyer anything.

Rainier Seller Questions

Which Rainier park rule matters most?

The age rule and the rent. Both decide who can buy and what the monthly cost looks like. Get both in writing.

Can the park refuse my buyer for an old home?

Under ORS 90.680, the park cannot reject a buyer or force removal because of the home's age, size, style, materials, or pre-HUD-code construction. Screening must match what the park applies to buyers of its own homes.

How does the 7-day clock work?

Once the buyer's application is complete, the park must accept or reject within 7 days. If you did not give the 10-day pre-sale notice, the park gets 10 days.

Do I pay tax certification fees?

County certification on Form 2952 that taxes are paid must precede the DCBS ownership transfer. Confirm any county fee with the county office before closing.

The Sale Steps for Rainier

Think of the sale in four moves. First, prove ownership with the DCBS ownership document. The state fee for transferring it is $55. Second, get county tax certification on Form 2952. Third, run the buyer through park approval under ORS 90.680, inside the 7-day or 10-day window. Fourth, close with a written purchase agreement and a bill of sale, then file the notice of sale within 30 days.

Rent notice runs alongside all of it. A park gives 90 days of written notice before a rent rise, and only one rise per 12 months is allowed. A buyer who learns of a coming increase at closing may walk. Tell them early.

Consider this general information, not advice from a lawyer. Check the current statute text or ask an Oregon lawyer about your facts.
