What is Portland's hotel occupancy tax rate?

Portland's combined transient lodging tax is about 15.3%. It stacks the Oregon state lodging tax, the Multnomah County tax, and the City of Portland tax, all applied to the room rate before fees.

Which governments collect the Portland lodging tax?

Three layers share it: the State of Oregon, Multnomah County, and the City of Portland. Each sets its own percentage, and the hotel collects the combined amount and remits it to each authority.

Is the tax charged on resort or cleaning fees?

Lodging tax generally applies to the room charge for the right to occupy the room. Separately stated incidental fees may be treated differently, so this tool taxes the room rate you enter and lets you decide what to include.

Does this apply to short-term rentals like Airbnb?

Yes. Short-term rentals in Portland are subject to the same transient lodging tax. Platforms often collect it automatically, but the rate is the same 15.3% on the nightly rate.

Why is my final bill higher than the room rate?

The advertised rate rarely includes tax. At 15.3%, a $200 night becomes about $230.60 once Portland's lodging tax is added, and multi-night stays multiply that gap.

Portland Hotel & Occupancy Tax Calculator

Portland advertises hotel rooms at the pre-tax rate, but the transient lodging tax adds a meaningful chunk to every night. This calculator applies Portland’s combined 15.3% lodging tax so you can see the real per-night and full-stay total before you commit.

How it works

The tax is a flat percentage of the taxable room rate, applied per night and multiplied across the stay:

nightly tax    = room rate × 15.3%
nightly total  = room rate + nightly tax
stay subtotal  = room rate × nights
stay tax       = stay subtotal × 15.3%
stay total     = stay subtotal + stay tax

The 15.3% figure is the sum of three separate levies — Oregon state, Multnomah County, and City of Portland transient lodging taxes — that the hotel collects together. You can override the rate if a future change or a specific property differs.

Example and tips

A $200 room for 3 nights has an $600 subtotal, adds about $91.80 in lodging tax, and totals roughly $691.80. Watch for separately stated resort or destination fees: those are not part of the room rate this tool taxes, so add them after the fact. When comparing booking sites, always compare post-tax totals, since the advertised nightly rate hides this 15.3% addition.
