Clackamas County has STR regulations for unincorporated areas (registration, posting of registration ID on ads, occupancy limits, parking, TLT payment and .85% STR user fee), but county rules explicitly do not affect STRs within city limits, so they do not apply to Molalla properties. 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.
