Portland Bureau of Development Services may suspend or revoke Accessory Short-Term Rental permits for repeated violations of PCC 33.207, including unpermitted operation, occupancy overages, party-house complaints, and unpaid Transient Lodging Tax, with multi-year application bars.
Under PCC 33.207 and Title 24 enforcement procedures, the Bureau of Development Services tracks substantiated violations against each Accessory Short-Term Rental permit. Two or three substantiated complaints within a twelve-month window typically trigger suspension; sustained noncompliance leads to revocation and a multi-year bar on reapplication for that property and operator. Tracked categories include exceeding occupancy limits, hosting parties or events, repeated noise complaints, neighbor harassment, unpermitted whole-home rental, and unpaid Transient Lodging Tax. Revocation findings are appealable to the Code Hearings Officer, but enforcement remains in effect during appeal.
Repeated short-term rental violations can revoke the permit for up to five years, trigger fines from $500 to $5,000 per occurrence, and result in liens against the property for unpaid Transient Lodging Tax assessments.
