Transient Room Tax  Information

All hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts or any other entity doing business with nightly room rentals in the Bend City limits must be registered with the City of Bend to remit room tax on a monthly basis.  Operators must register (15) fifteen calendar days after commencing business.  In order to do so, a Transient Room Tax Registration Form needs to be completed and returned to the City of Bend.  Once the completed registration form has been returned to the City, a Certificate of Authority to collect transient room tax will be issued. 

Each transient shall pay a tax in the amount of nine percent (9.0%) of the rent to the operator of the hotel or other entity at the time the rent is paid.  On or before the fifteenth (15th) day of the month following each month of collection, a return and payment for the preceding month's tax collections shall be filed with the City of Bend Tax Administrator.  All information regarding tax rate, due dates, etc. can be found in the Transient Room Tax Code. Please click on the links below to view the Transient Room Tax Code, Registration Forms, Transient Room Tax Remittance Forms and a Govenment Exemption Certificate to use for allowable deductions.

All correspondence, registration forms, remittance forms and payments may be sent to the following address: City of Bend, Attn: Finance Dept., P.O. Box 1024, Bend, Oregon 97709.

Please also note that any new vacation rental home, starting business after  August 7, 2006, needs to submit a Vacation Rental Application.  Forms are available below and must be submitted to the City of Bend Planning Department for approval.

Information related to the Oregon State Lodging Tax can be found on the Oregon Department of Revenue Website.
