Short-Term Rental Regulations
Brookings allows short-term rentals, but operators must follow a defined process. Anyone renting all or part of a home needs a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and must register on the city’s Short-Term Rental Registry. The registration renews annually and includes a yearly inspection. A permit fee amount is not published in the data reviewed for this page.
Zoning is the main constraint. Short-term rentals are permitted only in specific zoning districts, commonly on the west side of town, so location determines eligibility. Buyers should confirm a parcel’s zoning with the Planning Services department at 541-469-2163 before purchasing. Operators must also designate a local representative who lives within the Brookings urban growth boundary and has authority to make repairs, resolve disputes, and terminate occupancy. Bed and breakfasts additionally need a Home Occupation Permit and an annual business license.
Taxes apply at two levels. The city transient occupancy tax is reported at 7%, and Oregon’s state transient lodging tax rose from 1.5% to 2.5% on January 1, 2026. Tax returns are due monthly by the 15th, even for zero-rent months and even when a platform collects the tax.
Owner occupancy and primary residence are not required, and there is no annual night cap in the data. In 2021 the City Council reviewed the rules amid a rise in permits and declined to cap the number of short-term rentals. Enforcement severity is rated moderate, with registration, inspections, and monthly filings creating real compliance work.
Market Comparison
The Oregon Coast STR market posted a $285 ADR and 60.9% occupancy as of September 2026. The entire-home ADR is $288, the professionally managed ADR is $308, and luxury listings reach $461.
The comparison shifts by season. July (78.3%) and August (77.4%) are the high points for occupancy, while January (35.9%) and December (41.7%) are the low points. The market earns its strength in summer and gives much of it back in winter.
Brookings is a small town of 6,493 people, so demand depends on visitors drawn by the harbor, state parks, and US-101 road trips instead of a local base of residents. Top operator names are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Brookings, so this profile omits them.
