Can you run an STR at a Southeast Bend address?

How STR eligibility works in Bend

The City of Bend regulates short-term rentals by land-use zone and enforces a minimum separation distance between permitted rentals. Because of that buffer, eligibility is decided parcel by parcel — two neighboring homes in Southeast Bend can get different answers, depending on what's already permitted nearby.

18 permitted short-term rentals operate in Southeast Bend today. Roughly 4 are run by an owner based outside the area — a signal that investors are already active here. Existing supply matters: because of Bend's separation buffer, the more rentals already permitted around a parcel, the harder a new permit can be to land. The free checker above tells you a specific address's status instantly.

⚠️ City land-use eligibility is only part of the picture. An HOA, CC&Rs, a deed restriction, or a lease can prohibit a short-term rental in Southeast Bend even where the City allows one — always check those before you buy.
