Web Page

Welcome to the City of Sandy's Competition Maps page.  We have created three different series of maps showing the locations of all of the national and regional chain stores located within city limits.  Each link has two maps - the top map for each link shows west Sandy, or everything west of Bluff Road.  The bottom map shows downtown Sandy, or everything east of Bluff Road.  These maps are also scalable, so please zoom in if you're having trouble reading them.  Please contact the City of Sandy Economic Development office at (503) 489-2159 with any questions.

The City of Sandy takes bike safety seriously.  As we build out dedicated bike lanes and other bike infrastructure to the city's transportation system, we strongly encourage citizens to brush up on their safety knowledge and help eliminate avoidable accidents in our community. The following page is dedicated to promoting bicycle safety at all levels, from identifying the rules of the road for cyclists and the motorists that share the road with them to directing you to local sources for bike safety gear.

2025 BUSINESS LICENSE RENEWALS ARE NOW IN PROGRESS

 
In addition to information about business license and transit taxes, this page also provides links to other related information. Anyone engaging in business within the Sandy city limits, including home businesses, needs a business license and may be subject to transit taxes as well.

Sandy’s public transit system is supported by a local business tax per Ordinance No. 2012-10.  The business transit tax is assessed on all businesses and is an employer paid tax.  Sandy Municipal Code Chapter 5.05 provides the details for this tax.  All forms of taxable compensation are subject to the tax. Transit service information, the ordinance and a transit tax form are also available on this website.

Read the section from Sandy's Municipal Code establishing the City of Sandy transit tax here.

The provision for a home business is in recognition of the needs of many people who are engaged in small-scale business ventures which cannot be expanded to a full-scale enterprise. It is the intent of this section that full-scale commercial or professional operations, which would ordinarily be conducted in a commercial or industrial district, continue to be conducted in the appropriate zoning district and not a dwelling. These regulations apply to family day care businesses.

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 is a wide-ranging civil rights law that prohibits, under certain circumstances, discrimination based on disability.  The State of Oregon, in compliance with the federal government, requires local governments to compel all types of organizations to work towards making their buildings and businesses more accessible to the disabled.
