[FAQ] Do I need to register my ASTR activity as a business? https://zcu.io/dWPt Yes! Rental activity, including an accessory short-term rental, is considered a business and everyone doing business in the City of Portland is required to register their business. *Businesses grossing less than $50,000 per year before expenses are exempt from paying the City of Portland Business License Tax. However, if exempt you will need to make an annual filing to support the exemption request.

What types of structures are allowed to operate accessory short-term rentals?
The Zoning Code (Chapter 33.207 Accessory Short-Term Rentals) allows a operator to rent bedrooms in all residential structure types when accessory to a Household Living use. A Type A accessory short –term rental allows the rental of 1-2 bedrooms to overnight guests on a short-term basis (less than 30 days). Larger accessory short-term rentals with 3-5 bedrooms (Type B accessory short-term rentals) may be allowed if approved through a Land Use Conditional Use Review.
I feel honestly blessed that I get to work with each of my clients. They are the coolest and nicest people!
Here's my latest review:
"I was looking for someone to help me navigate the complex application process of the type B permit. Melissa was AMAZING. She made it so easy for me. She helped me stay on track with timelines, was prompt with all correspondence and prepared paperwork perfectly. The end result was that the application was approved. Plus, we met in person and she was so nice! Super pleasant to work with. Thanks again Melissa!" ~N.B.
