Salem

Salem requires annual licensing for all short-term rentals, distinguishing between Accessory STRs (primary residence) and standard STRs (often requiring a conditional use permit).

Hosts must obtain an annual license and register to pay a 9% city lodging tax. If you live in the property for at least 270 days a year, you can get an Accessory STR license; otherwise, you likely need a special land-use permit. Rentals are strictly prohibited in properties with Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs).
