ORLA Pushes for Clarity on New Lodging Tax
ORLA met with Oregon DOR to raise concerns about the new 1.25% lodging tax effective January 2027, including its required listing as a “Nature Conservation Fee.” We're advocating for the tax to apply only to room nights beginning January 1, and anticipate an opportunity for member input during upcoming rulemaking.
