An annual Short-Term Rental Operating License is required from the City of Hood River Planning Department for all Hosted Homeshares and Vacation Home Rentals prior to advertising or operation. In R-1, R-2, and R-3 residential zones, STRs are permitted only if the dwelling is the owner's primary residence and use is limited to no more than 90 days/nights per calendar year. A property owner can only be issued one license, valid for only one property.
