Tillamook County, OR – The Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office, in partnership with Tillamook County Solid Waste, has taken action this week against two residential properties with significant ordinance violations, including debris accumulation and abandoned vehicles.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, both agencies coordinated to address what officials described as “long-term compliance challenges,” where large piles of garbage, debris, and non-operational vehicles had contributed to neighborhood blight and potential health hazards. Authorities emphasized that while no criminal charges were filed, the cleanups were necessary to restore livability standards.
The Sheriff’s Office reported that one property also contained an abandoned recreational vehicle unrelated to the original violations. The RV was later tagged for removal under county ordinance. “Rather than implementing a temporary fix on a single property that does not address the overall problem, this approach allows us to address all compliance issues we are seeing across the county,” said Sheriff Brown.
Officials said the cleanup efforts reflect a broader push to bring long-term resolution to similar issues throughout Tillamook County. Both agencies are now identifying additional problem areas for follow-up inspections and compliance actions in the coming weeks.
This initiative, they added, underscores a commitment to protecting both public health and property rights while maintaining the county’s environmental and livability standards.
