Lebanon's mix of Main Street retail, a growing medical district anchored by the regional hospital and health-sciences campus, and steady residential growth means a wide range of parking lots across town fall under ADA requirements. For Linn County property owners, accessible parking is both a legal obligation and a practical one, because the medical traffic Lebanon draws includes a higher share of visitors who depend on accessible spaces working correctly.
This 2026 guide covers the accessible parking requirements that apply to Lebanon businesses: how many accessible spaces you need, the dimensions and signage that make them compliant, and the slope and surface standards that keep them that way. It builds on our statewide Oregon ADA parking compliance guide, the pillar resource behind every figure here.
The count is set by the 2010 ADA Standards and scales with total stalls.
| Total Spaces | Required Accessible | Van-Accessible Minimum |
|---|---|---|
| 1–25 | 1 | 1 |
| 26–50 | 2 | 1 |
| 51–75 | 3 | 1 |
| 76–100 | 4 | 1 |
| 101–150 | 5 | 1 |
| 151–200 | 6 | 1 |
The access aisle must be level with the stall and connect to a continuous accessible route to the entrance. Two accessible stalls may share one aisle.
Each accessible stall in Lebanon needs a vertical sign with the International Symbol of Accessibility mounted at least 60 inches from the ground to the bottom of the sign, visible when a vehicle is parked. Van stalls add a "Van Accessible" plate, and Oregon requires a supplemental sign stating the fine for illegally parking in an accessible space. For medical lots specifically, clear signage and a well-marked accessible route reduce confusion for first-time and mobility-impaired visitors. See our ADA parking sign placement guide for mounting detail.
The 2 percent slope cap on accessible stalls and aisles applies to the finished, settled surface, not the day the lot was poured. Settlement over time, especially near drainage features and older patches, can push an originally compliant slope past the limit, and the change is too small to see without a level. Western Oregon's wet winters and summer UV also fade pavement markings and open cracks, and faded accessible markings count as a compliance gap. For Lebanon owners:
A full repave or significant reconstruction of a Lebanon lot is an alteration under the ADA, triggering the obligation to bring the path of travel up to current standards to the maximum extent feasible. Routine maintenance, including sealcoating, crack sealing, and restriping existing markings, does not trigger upgrades, but you cannot make the lot less accessible than it already is. Audit during the design stage of any repave so counts, slopes, and the route get corrected while the asphalt is open. For how a structured inspection works, see our ADA compliance audit process.
Most Lebanon compliance work is restriping, signage, and targeted surface repair. If your lot is due for fresh lines, fold the ADA corrections into a scheduled restripe to share mobilization cost. Local pricing and seasonal timing are covered in our parking lot striping in Lebanon guide.
The counts, dimensions, and slope limits here are general guidance based on the 2010 ADA Standards and ORS 447.233. Your lot's actual compliance depends on measured conditions and the buildings it serves, so have a qualified contractor or accessibility professional perform a survey before committing to corrections.
