Can I Airbnb in Portland, OR? (2026)

Portland allows short-term rentals only as 'Accessory Short-Term Rentals' (ASTRs) inside a dwelling where a long-term resident (owner or renter) lives at least 270 days per year — dedicated whole-home vacation rentals are effectively prohibited in residential zones. A Type A ASTR permit (up to 2 bedrooms, max 5 guests) currently costs $400 and must be renewed every two years (rising to $504 on July 10, 2026); renting 3-5 bedrooms requires a Type B conditional use review. The biggest restriction is the residency rule: the host may be away and renting to guests no more than 95 days per calendar year. Always confirm current requirements with the city before operating.

What’s required: a Accessory Short-Term Rental (ASTR) Permit (Type A for 1-2 bedrooms; Type B conditional use for 3-5 bedrooms) ($400) is required; rentals are limited to your primary residence; occupancy taxes apply; renew biennial.
