Prepare for Oregon’s New Lodging Tax
Beginning January 1, 2027, Oregon’s statewide lodging tax will increase from 1.5% to 2.75%, with the additional 1.25% shown separately as a "fee" on guest invoices and receipts. ORLA has prepared a practical memo to help lodging operators update reservation and accounting systems and prepare for the new requirements.
Report Wildfire Impacts
Oregon hospitality businesses affected by wildfire or smoke—including lost revenue, closures, cancellations, or fewer customers—are encouraged to complete the state’s Business Self-Reporting Damage Survey. Reporting losses helps document the industry’s economic impact and may support eligibility for SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans.
ORLA is the only industry advocate striving to protect the vitality of all restaurants and lodging operations across Oregon.
