Painting Standards

Individuals and groups who want to paint address numbers on curbs, either for a fee or on a donation basis, need to obtain a curb painting permit from the Code Compliance Program. A City of Beaverton business license is also required.

Regulations

• Address numbers on the curb are not required by the City Code - they're optional. Please don't tell anyone that curb numbers are required.
• All numbers shall be at least four inches in height.
• All persons involved in the curb painting activity must carry a copy of the curb painting permit and business license to make them available for inspection upon request.
• Do not solicit or market curb painting services at residences or businesses that have posted "No Solicitors," "No Trespassing," or similar signs.
• If you paint an address number on the curb incorrectly, you must correct it within four business days following notification of the error.
• Numbers must be either black paint on a white background, or white paint on a black background.
• Only the address shall be painted on the curb - no street names or other words.
• The painter must have approval from the property owner before painting the address numbers on the curb.
• The permit holder's address must be included on all advertisements, receipts, or other materials provided to consumers.

Note: Holders of curb painting permits are not representatives or agents of the City of Beaverton.

Permit Fees & Submission Information

The permit applicant must have a Washington County street address, not a post office box. There is a $20 nonrefundable permit application processing fee. The fee is waived for nonprofit groups and minors. A permit can be revoked for failure to comply with these rules and standards, or if the city receives an excessive number of complaints.
