Salem's accessory short-term rental license comes in hosted and non-hosted forms. Hosted rentals require the owner living on-site; non-hosted accessory rentals of the whole home are capped at 95 days per year.
For accessory short-term rentals, Salem distinguishes hosted from non-hosted operation. A hosted accessory rental means the owner resides in the dwelling while renting up to 3 guest rooms and may operate with no annual night cap. A non-hosted accessory rental lets the owner rent the entire home or guest house while away, but it is limited to a maximum of 95 days per calendar year and to a single booking at a time. A standard short-term rental license does not require the host to be present. Unincorporated Marion County sets no host-presence rule.
Operating a non-hosted rental beyond 95 days, or booking multiple parties at once, breaches the accessory license and invites enforcement.
