Can I rent out my ADU?

Last Updated June 24, 2026

In Oregon and Washington, you can rent out an ADU, but it must meet all local zoning regulations and building codes for long-term occupancy (not short-term rentals like Airbnb or VRBO). Each city may have different requirements and licensing obligations. Neil Kelly recommends verifying your specific city development code.
