Mt. Hood Short Term Vacation Rentals

Wednesday, May 20, 2020
by Liz Warren

Here is the latest communication from Clackamas County concerning unincorporated short term vacation rentals:

Yesterday the Board of County Commissioners agreed to delay for six months (until Nov. 17, 2020) any further action on possible regulations for short-term rentals in unincorporated Clackamas County.  The action was taken because of the changed circumstances brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, including:

  • Almost total loss of revenue for the county’s Tourism Department, which was going to help fund start-up costs for a possible short-term rental registration program
  • Dramatic drop in demand for short-term rentals

 

The status of short-term rentals in the county will continue to be as it has been, with no registration program or specific regulations except for the requirement to pay Transient Lodging Tax to the county's Finance Department (see details here:  https://www.clackamas.us/finance/transient.html) .  On November 17, the Board of Commissioners will again discuss the issue of possibly regulating short-term rentals based on the situation at that time.

 

Regulations as currently drafted will remain on the website at www.clackamas.us/planning/str.  We will notify you when this issue is brought before the Board again or if there are other changes.  For more information, contact Senior Planner Martha Fritzie at [email protected].

 

Thank you for your interest.  Take care.
