STR Regulations in Clackamas County

[Kelli198]

I have been following the proposed (and now passed) STR licensing for Clackamas county and the crazily high $900/two year permit, but cannot locate the permit anywhere on their website.  

Does anyone know where this can be found, or if it's just not posted yet?

I understand it is slated to start in July, and would like to get it ready to submit.

Also- do we know what it will take for Airbnb to start taking county tax for Clackamas county as well? They already pay both local and state tax for the coast which is incredibly convenient, it would be great if they could also do the same for Clackamas county.

@Kelli198  You can contact your local county tax office and ask for the permit.  It may be that they have not posted it yet, or it is only available via going to their offices and completing it on paper.

When and if AirBnB reaches an agreement with your County to collect and remit the taxes, it will be added to your listing and you can see it in addition to the State and local taxes.  It all depends on AirBnB's negotiations with the jurisdiction.
