In December 2024, the City Council approved amendments to Title 24 Building Regulations. These amendments give Portland Permitting & Development (PP&D) authority to regulate transient lodging and enact rules to establish minimum fire and life safety construction standards.
PP&D published Interim Administrative Rule ENB 13.03, Transient Lodging Facilities, effective Jan. 1, 2025. The public is invited to provide testimony on the interim rule prior to its permanent enactment. The permanent administrative rule is expected to take effect on June 23, 2025.
If you have specific comments about or would like to request changes to the proposed administrative rule, please email your comments to PPDAdminRuleHearings@portlandoregon.gov. Comments must be submitted no later than Monday, June 9.
