Transient Room Tax (Oregon)

The Transient Room Tax (TRT) in Oregon is a tax imposed on individuals who rent lodging for a short period, typically less than 30 days. This tax is added to the cost of hotel stays, vacation rentals, and similar accommodations. The revenue generated from the TRT is used to support local services such as tourism promotion, public safety, and infrastructure improvements. Each city or county in Oregon sets its own TRT rate, which can vary, and is collected by lodging operators who then remit it to the local government.
