The analysis and results are presented from the complete data set recorded at Palo Verde between September 1998 and July 2000. In the experiment, the $\nuebar$ interaction rate has been measured at a distance of 750 and 890 m from the reactors of the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station for a total of 350 days, including 108 days with one of the three reactors off for refueling. Backgrounds were determined by (a) the $swap$ technique based on the difference between signal and background under reversal of the positron and neutron parts of the correlated event and (b) making use of the conventional reactor-on and reactor-off cycles. There is no evidence for neutrino oscillation and the mode $\nuebar\to\bar\nu_x$ was excluded at 90% CL for $\dm>1.1\times10^{-3}$ eV$^2$ at full mixing, and $\sinq>0.17$ at large $\dm$.
