Can I Airbnb in Bend, OR? (2026)
Bend allows short-term rentals but regulates them tightly: every STR needs a land use permit (Type I or Type II) plus an annual Short-Term Rental Operating License. Whole-house rentals in residential zones (Type II) must be at least 500 feet from any other Type II STR, permits are voided on sale of the property, and occupancy is capped at two guests per bedroom plus two. Guests pay a 10.4% city room tax plus Oregon's 1.5% state lodging tax.
What’s required: a Short-Term Rental Operating License ($350) is required; occupancy taxes apply; renew annual.
