Oceanside, Oregon

Short-term rentals in Oceanside are governed by Tillamook County, since the village is unincorporated. STRs are regulated under County Ordinance No. 84 and its amendments plus later board orders. An annual Short-Term Rental Operator License is required before renting, and the county caps STR counts in popular coastal subareas including Oceanside under Board Order #25-002, so new licenses here are generally waitlisted rather than freely available.

Key rules: one STR license maximum per individual or company in unincorporated Tillamook County; a license may transfer to a new owner only once at sale, after which it is lost on the next sale; maximum occupancy is tied to bedrooms and septic capacity, roughly two people per advertised bedroom, capped at about 15 overnight occupants; and mandatory garbage service, off-street hard-surfaced parking, quiet hours, and posted emergency contact information are all required.

The Transient Lodging Tax is 10% in unincorporated Tillamook County, including Oceanside, on stays of 29 nights or fewer, collected from guests and remitted quarterly. The annual operator license fee is a flat rate based on permitted maximum occupancy, reported at roughly $75 per authorized occupant, and a septic inspection is required for homes on septic. There is no owner-occupancy or primary-residence requirement.

Enforcement is active: the county can fine operators, treat unlicensed or post revocation operation as a civil code violation, and revoke licenses. Investors should treat Oceanside as a supply constrained, waitlisted market and confirm current license availability directly with Tillamook County before purchasing.
