Unincorporated Lane County has no host-present (hosted-only) requirement for short-term rentals; whole-home rentals of primary dwellings are permitted subject to zoning and lodging-tax registration. Rural ADUs cannot be vacation-rented regardless of host presence.
The county does not distinguish hosted from unhosted rentals in the unincorporated area — there is no rule that the owner must remain on-site during a guest stay. Whole-home short-term rental of an eligible primary dwelling is allowed provided the operator registers to collect the Transient Room Tax and the use fits the zone. The one hard limit is the rural residential ADU, which is barred from vacation occupancy entirely under Ordinance 23-05. Incorporated cities may adopt hosted-only or owner-present conditions in their own STR programs.
There is no host-presence violation at the county level; enforcement instead targets unregistered lodging-tax collection or prohibited ADU vacation use.
