Manzanita has a strict short-term rental ordinance with a cap on the total number of licenses, which has been reached. New applicants must join a waitlist. Licensed properties must adhere to specific occupancy limits, parking requirements, and collect a 14.5% total lodging tax. A local representative available 24/7 is mandatory.
To host an Airbnb in Manzanita, you must first get on a waitlist as the city is not currently issuing new permits. Once invited to apply, you'll need a Short-Term Rental Operating License, which costs $600 annually. You must have a local contact who can respond to issues within 30 minutes, provide detailed site and floor plans, and show proof of $500,000 in liability insurance. Be prepared to collect and pay a total of 14.5% in lodging taxes, and remember that your license number must be in all your ads.
