Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Detroit, OR

Airbnbs are effectively legal in Detroit, OR because there are no specific short-term rental regulations on the books. Detroit, OR has a Transient Occupancy (room) tax ordinance (Ord. 260) that treats short-term lodging as taxable transient lodging; providers must register with the Finance Director (City Recorder) to collect the tax, keep guest records for at least three years, and submit quarterly returns and payments. No city municipal code page or ordinance explicitly requiring a separate short-term rental permit, zoning-based STR restrictions, occupancy caps, minimum-night stays, or host-residency requirements was located on the City of Detroit or Marion County official sites during this search. Operators should still verify HOA rules, state-level requirements, and any tax-collection obligations. See the official source linked on this page for full requirements. Last verified 2026-05-14.
