Is Vivint Available in Oregon?

Yes, Vivint is available in Oregon: Vivint installs in all 50 states, and availability for a specific OR address depends on cellular signal at the home and technician coverage, which the dealer confirms when you request a quote.

Portland charges $25 for a residential permit, waives it for residents aged 62 and over, and fines $100 per event for a system not registered within 30 days of activation, which is higher than any of its false-alarm fines ($50 to $150). Salem and Eugene schedules are being added. Oregon licenses installers as Limited Energy Technicians, and the state's 301 burglaries per 100,000 is well above the national rate.
