Short-term rental permit and license records on file with 1 local registry, as of July 2026 — compiled, deduplicated, and free to cite. Part of Cavmir's U.S. STR permit data hub.

Where The Licenses Are

Oregon's most-licensed markets

Oregon's records here are Bend's. The city runs a short-term rental registry with operating standards and density rules — the hub of central Oregon's high-desert outdoor tourism.

For now, Bend is the entire published picture in Oregon: every record on this page comes from that one registry. As other Oregon jurisdictions publish their own data, this page will grow beyond it.

How To Read These Numbers

What this number is — and is not

The headline figure counts short-term rental permit and license records on file with 1 local registry, deduplicated by permit number. A license is not a listing: some licenses cover multiple units, some licensed homes sit unrented, and jurisdictions that publish nothing are missing entirely. Treat it as a verified floor for the size of Oregon's legal short-term rental market — not a census.

Cavmir Market Guides

Where Cavmir works in Oregon

Eight Oregon markets carry a Cavmir guide, from Bend and Mount Hood to the coast towns, Hood River, Ashland and Portland. Bend is the one market with a published registry.

What It Means For Hosts

Reading Oregon like a marketer

Bend is a four-season outdoor market: skiing at Mt. Bachelor in winter, rivers and trails and breweries in summer, and a steady flow of visitors from Portland and beyond. The city caps how densely short-term rentals can cluster, so legal supply is managed and the permitted stays compete for a guest who is really buying an activity as much as a bed.

That rewards listings that sell the trip — proximity to the mountain or the river, the brewery trail, the base-camp convenience — with photography and local content to match. Cavmir markets Bend rentals by the season and the sport, with search built around how outdoor travelers plan and a direct-booking path that keeps repeat visitors coming back to the same house.
