Zoning & Conditions
Josephine County forbids short-term rentals of secondary/detached living spaces, requiring a deed restriction for 30+ day stays. Other lodging (campgrounds, RV parks, lodges) is permitted but subject to zoning-specific duration limits (e.g., 30 days per six months or 120 days per year) and tourist facility licensing.
How to Obtain a Permit
1) For Detached/Secondary Living Spaces: Apply for a Development Permit for a Temporary Land Use ($300 fee) and record a deed restriction prohibiting rentals under 30 days. 2) For traveler accommodations/lodges: Submit a Tourist Facility License Application to Josephine County Environmental Health and pass required building and health inspections.
