Richmond Updates & Developments: Land Use News

Land Use Resources

With these three websites you can find out just about anything related to land use throughout the city:  portlandmaps.com, nextportland.com/map, and BPS's Planning Site

This site is actively maintained by the city and is the hub for almost any question you might have about properties, zonings, future planning, etc. Make sure to look through the Portland Maps Gallery for some of the best maps any city in the US provides about itself. Here's some of my favorites:

• Earthquake Hazard Map

• Construction Maps

  • Commercial

  • Residential

• Demolition Maps

  • Commercial

  • Residential

• Map of legal Short-Term Rentals

  • Report illegal Short-Term Rentals
