Short Term Rentals

On November 5, 2004, the Cannon Beach City Council adopted Ordinance 04-09A. That ordinance established new City regulations for the rental of dwelling for periods of thirty days or less. The ordinance included a provision that transient rental business license holders could apply for a new annual transient rental permit. The ordinance also stipulates that the City will issue five-year transient rental permits, by means of random selection, when a transient rental permit is revoked so that a total of 92 permits are maintained.

As transient rental permits becomes available, the City conducts a lottery (randomly selects) property owner names from a list of individuals who wish to apply for a five-year permit. Click here to apply for the lottery. The last lottery was held on December 30, 2011 in which (4) four permits were available and January 12, 2012 in which (2) two permits were available.
