ORS § 90 § 90.263
Vehicle tags.
Operative Text
A landlord may not require that a tenant display a nonremovable tag, sticker or other device on a motor vehicle that might reveal or indicate to the public the premises where the tenant resides.
Oregon Revised Statutes § 90.263 prohibits landlords from requiring tenants to place permanent or nonremovable identifying markers—such as tags or stickers—on their vehicles when those markers could reveal to the public where the tenant lives. The rule is designed to protect tenant privacy by preventing residential addresses from being disclosed through vehicle identification. This applies to any motor vehicle a tenant uses, regardless of where it is parked.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ORS § 90.263, compliant property owners and managers do not impose any vehicle-display requirement that involves a nonremovable tag, sticker, or similar device that could expose a tenant's home address to the public. Operators who use vehicle identification systems for parking management generally rely on removable permits, hang tags, or other methods that do not permanently affix identifying information to a vehicle. Reviewing any existing parking or vehicle-registration policies against this standard is a common practice for operators seeking to stay in compliance.

ORS § 90.263 gives tenants the right to refuse a landlord's demand to place a permanent or nonremovable tag, sticker, or device on their vehicle if that item could reveal where they live. If a landlord attempts to enforce such a requirement, tenants may have grounds to raise this statutory protection as a defense or to file a complaint with the appropriate state or local housing authority. Tenant-rights organizations in Oregon can help explain what options are generally available under this provision.
