Sherwood, Oregon: Selling in a Growing Portland-Metro City

Sherwood in Plain Terms

Sherwood is in Washington County, southwest of Portland on Highway 99W. The 2020 Census counted 20,450 people. It has grown fast, with new neighborhoods, shopping, and schools. Manufactured-home parks sit alongside that growth, offering a lower-cost way into a popular city.

The homes covered here sit in parks or on leased land. What changes hands is the home. The ground beneath stays rented. The land itself is not sold in the sale.

The Oregon Steps for Sherwood Sellers

A park home transfers as personal property. The ownership record is held by DCBS. It costs $55 in state fees. Before DCBS transfers, the county certifies on Form 2952 that taxes stand paid.

ORS 90.680 governs buyer approval. The buyer submits a written application to the park. A complete application must be accepted or rejected within 7 days, or 10 days if the pre-sale notice was missed. The buyer must wait for approval before moving in.

Rent can go up only once in 12 months, and only with 90 days of written notice. Get the current rent and any scheduled increase in writing, and share both with buyers.

Treat this section as general information, not legal advice. Verify the current statutes or consult an Oregon lawyer for your situation.

Sherwood Questions

Is full service really available in Sherwood?

Yes. The $6,999 full-service tier is limited to Portland metro area, and Sherwood is in Portland metro. Sellers here can choose it, unlike sellers outside the metro.

Does Sherwood growth raise my price?

Growth helps demand, but your price still follows the home's condition, the lot rent, and the park's rules. Price from your own park first.

Can the park reject a buyer for an old home?

No. Under ORS 90.680, age, size, style, materials, and pre-HUD-code construction cannot justify rejection or forced removal.

What paperwork matters most?

The DCBS ownership document, county tax certification on Form 2952, and the park's buyer approval. Those three decide whether closing happens on time.
