Update on Short-Term Rental and Lodging Tax Platform
The City of Hood River recently updated the process for permitting Short-Term Rental (STR) licenses and submitting Transient Lodging Tax (TLT) remittances. The Planning Department has been working to streamline these processes to make the experience more user-friendly for STR owners and managers.
STR operators can now apply for a license, pay fees, and file monthly Transient Lodging Taxes on a single platform accessed through our Short-Term Rental webpage.
The City regulates STRs in an effort to preserve housing for full-time residents. Anyone interested in operating a Hosted Homeshare or Vacation Home Rental must first obtain a Short-Term Rental license. While the City does not limit the total number of STR licenses issued, other rules apply. For example, licensing regulations for residentially zoned properties include primary residency requirements and a limit of 90 nights that the property may be rented short-term. Commercially zoned properties may be rented year-round, and operators do not have to meet residency requirements.
Additional information, including how to apply for a license, is available on the City’s: cityofhoodriver.gov/planning/short-term-rentals/
