To host an Airbnb in Silverton, you must first secure one of the limited STR licenses available from the Town. Because Silverton has a strict cap on the number of vacation rentals allowed (only 28 for owners who don't live in their home full-time), you should check with the Planning Department before spending money on applications. Once licensed, you are required to pay a 5% lodging tax on top of standard sales taxes, maintain a $500,000 insurance policy, and have a local contact person who can respond to issues within 30 minutes. Be aware that ADUs built after 2017 cannot be used as short-term rentals.
