For Airbnb hosts having issues with their rental platform after being delisted:

Do you have a valid permit number listed on the City of Portland’s Short-term Rental Registry ↗?

Does the permit number listed in your platform’s advertisement exactly match the number on the Registry?

If the answers to both of these questions are yes and your platform is still having issues getting you listed (or re-listed), the Revenue Division’s Transient Lodging Tax team may be able to help. Please contact that team at TLTax@portlandoregon.gov.

We can approve complete permit applications until you reach the maximum number allowed.
