HostReadyPortland requires an Accessory Short-Term Rental (ASTR) permit for short-term rentals, with two types: Type A permits for renting up to 2 bedrooms to no more than 5 overnight guests, and Type B conditional uses for renting between 3 and 5 bedrooms. Both types require a long-term resident who lives at the property for at least 270 days per calendar year. Operating 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.
