Market Overview
Springfield is a city of 61,182 residents in Lane County, Oregon, and part of the Eugene-Springfield metro. The performance figures on this page come from the Eugene-Springfield metro STR series, which Springfield shares with Eugene, OR. Treat them as a metro benchmark, not a Springfield-only measurement. In August 2026, the average listing in the Eugene-Springfield metro STR market earned $3,129 in monthly revenue at an average daily rate of $188 and 54.3% occupancy. Compared with August 2025, occupancy fell 4.9%, ADR rose 6.7%, and monthly revenue rose 8.0%. Annual averages show a market that has traded occupancy for rate. Metro occupancy peaked at 72.1% in 2021, then fell to 54.4% in 2024 and 51.4% in 2025. It averages 51.3% across January through August 2026.

Lane County drew over 4 million visitors with more than $1.1 billion in visitor spending in 2022, according to the area profile, but Springfield publishes no city-level visitor count. Springfield serves as the gateway to the McKenzie River recreation corridor and the Cascades. Visitors are largely outdoor-recreation and sports travelers, including track and field event traffic from nearby Eugene. Listing counts, bedroom mix, channel mix, and operator rankings are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Springfield, so this profile omits them.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short-term rentals of under 30 consecutive days are legal in Springfield, Oregon but regulated under Springfield Development Code section 4.7.355. Every STR needs a city short-term rental permit, an annual business license, and a certificate of occupancy. Type A covers owner or operator-occupied rentals, up to about 5 guest rooms and 10 occupants, and is approved administratively for around $400. Type B covers larger or non-owner-occupied rentals. It needs discretionary or conditional-use approval, a neighborhood meeting, public hearings, and at least 400 feet of separation from other Type B STRs on the same street. As of late 2024 the city stopped issuing new Type B permits in commercial and mixed-use, employment, and industrial zones. Operators must post permit and business-license numbers, contact information, and noise, parking, and trash rules. STRs cannot be rented solely for events such as weddings or parties. Guests pay a 9.5% Springfield transient room tax, which Airbnb collects automatically, plus the Oregon state transient lodging tax of 1.5%, which rose to 2.5% on January 1, 2026. The framework was adopted through Ordinance 6466 in November 2023 and Ordinance 6489 in November 2024. Owner occupancy is not required citywide, but non-owner whole-home STRs are harder to establish. Enforcement severity is rated moderate.
Market Comparison
Against a national STR median near 55% occupancy and $220 ADR, the Eugene-Springfield metro’s August 2026 occupancy of 54.3% is 0.7 points lower, and its $188 ADR is $32 lower. The 2025 annual averages show 51.4% occupancy, 3.6 points below the national figure, and $175 ADR, $45 below it. The 2026 average to date is 51.3% occupancy and $179 ADR. The metro is closer to the national benchmark on rate than on occupancy. Occupancy fell from 72.1% in 2021 to 51.4% in 2025, while ADR rose from $130 to $175 over the same span. August 2026 ADR grew 6.7% year over year while occupancy fell 4.9%. Operator rankings are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Springfield, so this profile does not list top operators. Springfield’s two-tier permit system favors owner-occupied operators, which makes non-owner whole-home entry harder than in a no-permit market.
