Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

Lodging receipts identify conservation tax charges

For lodging charged starting January 1, 2027, any receipt or similar document provided must identify the conservation tax portions. Collectors must label the 0.9% and 0.35% portions of the state lodging tax as a “nature conservation fee.” This label does not create a separate charge.

Lodging revenue supports Oregon wildlife recovery

The law directs Recovering Oregon’s Wildlife Fund money to the State Wildlife Action Plan and habitat conservation stamp programs. It also provides matching money for conservation and restoration programs serving species most in need and their essential habitats. Oregon’s fish and wildlife department decides which species and habitats qualify for that matching money. Funding comes from the 0.9% lodging tax rate, habitat stamp sales, appropriations, transfers, and donations.

Travelers pay higher Oregon lodging taxes

For Oregon lodging charged starting January 1, 2027, the state tax rises from 1.5% to 2.75%. That adds $1.25 per $100 in lodging charges, payable when your stay ends. Local lodging taxes still apply on top of the state tax. Of the total rate, 1.5% funds tourism, 0.9% funds wildlife recovery, and 0.35% funds conservation and related efforts.
