Blue River Regulations
Blue River explicitly allows STRs citywide with no current caps, providing clear legal clarity. The $300 annual license fee and comprehensive documentation requirements (site plans, fire safety plans, insurance proof) create moderate permitting costs and complexity. While compliance follows a known process through the online portal, the ongoing evaluation of potential caps and the mandatory annual renewal process add some uncertainty that makes this friendly but not very friendly for investors.

About Blue River
Blue River is an unincorporated community in Lane County, Oregon, United States. It is located on Oregon Route 126 along the McKenzie River, between the communities of Finn Rock and Rainbow. It is in the Willamette National Forest, where the Blue River empties into the McKenzie. The community was named after the Blue River, which was named for the striking blue color that apparently comes from its rocky bed. Five miles northeast of the community, a dam on the Blue River forms the Blue River Reservoir.
