The Clatsop County Board of Commissioners is reviewing proposals that would restrict short-term rentals in unincorporated areas of the county.
The current proposal would eliminate 107 short-term rentals in the following areas:
STRs with a Warrenton address
STRs with an Arch Cape address that are actually in Cove Beach
STRs with a Gearhart address
STRs with an Astoria address
STRs with a Cannon Beach address
STRs with a Seaside address
STRs with a Nehalem address
While these STRs are located outside of cities, the owners and their guests buy services in the cities. Our study of the financial and economic impacts to the county** (tax revenues) and to
local businesses and STR owners are shown below. Tourism spending includes data from
the Warrenton-Astoria Chamber of Commerce 2020 Travel Spending Report, which includes travel spending for: retail sales; arts, entertainment & recreation; local transportation and gas; food stores, and food service.
