Short Term Rentals are not Included in the CCR Vote.
Over the last few weeks, several members have expressed concern that the proposed CC&R’s regulate short term rentals (STR). That is incorrect. When Clatsop county established its comprehensive STR regulations last year, it became apparent that it was unnecessary for our association to implement any STR policies.
