A Trespass Letter of Consent lets the police act for you if someone is on your private property without permission. With this letter, police don’t have to call you first before asking the person to leave or making them leave.

Normally, police can’t remove someone from private property unless the owner says it’s okay. If the owner isn’t there or can’t be reached—especially late at night—this can be a problem.

This letter helps by giving police permission ahead of time. That way, they can act right away if someone is trespassing, even when you’re not available.

How do I put a letter on file?

If a Trespass Letter of Consent would be helpful to you, complete the online form below. 

In addition to your consent letter, your property must be posted with ‘No Trespassing’ signs. Signs may include the Trespass authority under ORS 164.245 (property) or ORS 164.255 (building/dwelling). These signs should not include any language specific to loitering.
