Give local communities more control over Short Term Rental Taxes.
Give written testimony now: Support Oregon State House Bill 4148
Currently 70% of STR taxes have to be used to promote tourism, leaving only 30% for local communities to pay their bills for roads, schools, fire and police protection.
HB 4148 would change the percentage from STR taxes in favor of more local control, reversing the percentages to favor local control: 60% local communities, 40% to promote tourism.
Coastal communities need flexibility to direct local $’s from Transient Lodging Taxes (STRs) where they are most needed.
Speak up now! HB 4148 hearing is Monday, Feb. 9.
You can testify in writing before Monday:
