Generally Investor friendly
Independence allows STRs citywide and lacks a dedicated STR ordinance, so compliance defaults to basic zoning verification, a simple city business registration, and Oregon’s 1.5% quarterly lodging tax—no caps, low fees, and no onerous inspections. The regulatory pathway is straightforward and investor-friendly, though future rule changes are possible.
