Anyone furnishing transient lodging in unincorporated Lane County must register as a tax collector. Under Oregon law the administrator issues, without charge, a certificate of authority to collect the transient lodging tax, which must be displayed at the property.
Registration is the county's practical entry gate for short-term rentals: rather than a discretionary permit, operators enroll through Oregon Revenue Online (the state administers Lane County's Transient Room Tax since October 1, 2022) and receive a certificate of authority to collect the tax. The certificate must be posted at the rental. Registration covers any dwelling, room, or space rented for periods of 30 nights or fewer. Rural residential ADUs allowed under Ordinance 23-05 remain ineligible for vacation occupancy regardless of registration.
Furnishing lodging without registering, or failing to display the certificate of authority, is a compliance violation subject to Department of Revenue assessment, penalty and interest.
