Sourced fire access · city in Oregon
Portland
Local option
Portland is Oregon's biggest city and, by everything on file here, not an R327 adopter: of 11 local nodes and 5 applications statewide, the city carries none. What applies to your house is the state baseline unless and until that changes.
The distinction matters in a city where wildfire feels far away — what we can't tell you yet is not hedging, it is the record of what has not been enacted.
Gardens here run mild and wet by Oregon standards: USDA half-zones 8b and 9a, with 523 plant records documented for the city of 623 statewide. Living here leads with them.
What applies to your house here
ORSC R327 is the local-adoption option here; no local application is normalized.
