Clackamas County does not require a host to stay on-site during STR stays. Instead, contact information for a responsible party must be posted at all times while guests are present, and that party must be available 24/7 and able to respond to complaints within two hours.
The county substitutes an on-call responsible party for any on-site host mandate. Contact information of a party responsible for the STR shall be posted at all times while paying guests are on the property, in an area and size readily visible from the nearest public roadway. That responsible party must be available 24/7 and able to respond to complaints within two hours. This ensures neighbors have a live point of contact for noise, parking or safety problems even when the owner lives elsewhere, which is typical for Mt. Hood vacation rentals.
Failing to post responsible-party contact info, or not responding within two hours, is a compliance issue drawing up to two written warnings and possible revocation.
