Relating to vacation occupancies in historic properties.

HB 3848 prohibits owners of historic properties in Oregon from using them as vacation rentals unless the property is their primary residence. This directly affects owners of properties classified as historic under Oregon law, requiring them to live in the property full-time if they wish to avoid restrictions on short-term rentals. The bill amends existing statutes to enforce this rule, adding "failure to comply with the primary residence requirement" as a specific reason for losing historic property tax benefits. It does not change the existing requirements for historic property classification, such as preservation plans or insurance, but ties vacation use directly to the tax assessment status.
