Parking Lot Striping in Hillsboro, Oregon
Hillsboro is Washington County's largest city and the center of Oregon's Silicon Forest. Intel's massive Ronler Acres campus, along with dozens of semiconductor suppliers, tech firms, and the rapid residential and commercial growth along the MAX Blue Line corridor, have made Hillsboro one of the fastest-growing cities in the state. That growth means new commercial lots being built and existing ones wearing faster under increased traffic.
Cojo provides parking lot striping across Hillsboro and western Washington County. This guide covers the commercial areas that need the most attention, compliance requirements, pricing, and scheduling for Hillsboro property owners and managers.
Hillsboro Commercial Areas That Need Striping
Intel Campus and Tech Manufacturing Zone
Intel's Ronler Acres and Jones Farm campuses dominate the area around NE Shute Road and NW Evergreen Parkway. The surrounding tech ecosystem — chip fabrication suppliers, engineering firms, clean room contractors, and logistics companies — maintains hundreds of commercial lots in this zone. Many of these are industrial-grade facilities that need specialized striping for heavy vehicles, chemical storage boundaries, and employee versus visitor separation.
Tech manufacturing lots see 24/7 shift traffic, which accelerates wear on lane markings and directional arrows. Properties near Intel typically need re-striping every 12 to 18 months due to the constant use.
Tanasbourne and AmberGlen
The Tanasbourne area along NW 185th Avenue is Hillsboro's primary retail hub. Shopping centers, big-box stores, restaurants, and entertainment venues generate heavy parking demand. The Streets of Tanasbourne and surrounding retail properties have large surface lots that require coordinated re-striping — sections need to be completed during off-hours to maintain retail access.
The AmberGlen business park south of Tanasbourne along NW Cornell Road contains mid-rise office buildings with structured and surface parking that needs consistent maintenance for a professional corporate image.
Orenco Station and Downtown Hillsboro
Orenco Station is a mixed-use development along the MAX Blue Line with retail, restaurants, and residential components. The smaller commercial lots here — typically 20 to 50 spaces — require precise striping to maximize limited space. Downtown Hillsboro along Main Street has undergone revitalization, with restaurants, shops, and professional offices relying on well-marked street-adjacent lots and shared parking areas.
South Hillsboro Growth Area
South Hillsboro is one of the largest planned developments in the metro area, with thousands of new homes and commercial parcels being built. New construction lots require initial striping layouts designed for optimal traffic flow, ADA compliance from day one, and fire lane markings before occupancy permits are issued.
ADA Compliance in Hillsboro
ADA compliance is enforced across all commercial properties. First-offense fines for accessible parking violations can reach $75,000. Hillsboro's tech campuses and medical facilities face particular scrutiny because they employ large workforces and serve the public.
Every commercial lot must have the correct number of accessible spaces based on total capacity, van-accessible aisles at 96 inches wide, compliant signage, and proper slope grades. New construction in South Hillsboro must meet current ADA standards from initial striping. See our striping regulations Oregon guide for state requirements, and the complete striping guide for ADA space count tables.
Fire Lane Requirements
Hillsboro Fire Department requires clearly marked fire lanes in all commercial lots. Red curb markings with "NO PARKING — FIRE LANE" stenciling must remain visible at all times. Tech campuses with hazardous materials storage have additional fire access lane requirements that affect lot layout and striping.

Scheduling and Timing
Hillsboro shares the Willamette Valley dry season — late June through September. July and August are the peak months with the most consistent conditions for paint adhesion and curing.
Tech campus scheduling: Many Intel-area lots see 24/7 traffic. Coordinate with facility managers to stripe during planned shutdowns or low-traffic weekends. Section-by-section striping allows continued lot use during the project.
Retail scheduling: Tanasbourne retail lots should be striped mid-week or overnight. Holiday shopping season starts in November — have your lot re-striped by October at the latest.
If your lot was recently sealcoated, allow 24 to 48 hours of cure time before striping. See striping after sealcoating for details.
