Oregon Shed Moving Permit Rules

What this means for your move
Most 10-, 12-, and 14-foot-wide portable buildings exceed the 8'6" legal width in Oregon, so a permit is required for nearly any move on public roads. An 8-foot-wide shed usually travels permit-free as long as trailer deck height keeps the total under 14'.
Plan the route around Cascade passes and dense Willamette Valley tree canopies. Pilot car required above 12' wide on most state routes. Escort vehicles are billed per mile and are typically the largest add-on cost after the haul itself.
Professional shed haulers usually carry annual blanket permits, which removes the per-trip paperwork for the homeowner entirely.
