HostReadyPortland requires an Accessory Short-Term Rental (ASTR) permit, with two application types: Type A permits for renting up to 2 bedrooms to no more than 5 overnight guests, and Type B conditional uses for renting 3 to 5 bedrooms. Both require a long-term resident who lives at the property for at least 270 days per calendar year. Operating a short-term rental without a permit may result in fines.
Licensing and Permits
Portland requires hosts to obtain an STR license or permit before listing their property on platforms like Airbnb or VRBO. An inspection is required as part of the permitting process.
Enforcement
Portland has medium enforcement of STR regulations. Operating without proper licensing or failing to comply with local regulations can result in citations, fines, and potential loss of your permit.
