Town Hall (Virtual) - Feb. 18, 2026

Short Term Rental regulations 

In late 2023, the Board of County Commissioners approved and established the short-term rental (STR) pilot program. Prior to that time, the unincorporated areas of Clackamas County had no STR regulations.  

The Board has extended the program until June 30 to solicit thorough public input on experiences with the program from STR operators, neighbors, and the general community. Public input is sought through a community-wide survey and public town halls.  

The public is encouraged to read the STR regulations, and more about the program.

During the event, feedback and observations from residents are encouraged. As the event will be recorded and available later online, residents are strongly encouraged to send comments ahead of time over email to clackconews@clackamas.us, with the subject line “STR Town Hall.” Comments may be shortened for time.  
 
Commissioners rely on public feedback and concerns to help guide policies and county actions. This session will directly impact commissioners’ future plans for STR regulation. Please be advised that the Board or the Chair reserves the right to stop comments that are out-of-order or off-topic.  

Commissioners are also seeking public feedback about the STR regulation pilot program through a community-wide survey. All interested parties are strongly encouraged to take that survey before it closes on Wednesday, Feb. 11, at 5 p.m.  

Commissioners wish to hear from as many residents as possible prior to making further decisions through the public events/feedback.
