Services, Guides, and Information

Purpose, background, timeline, and contact information for the Residential Infill Project.

RIP2 completes the expansion of housing types allowed in all residential zones that began with Residential Infill Project Part 1, including Portland’s larger lots in outlying areas.

The Residential Infill Project allows for more types of homes in more areas of Portland, but current homeowners should be aware of unsolicited offers to buy their homes.
