Important City of Portland Legislative Alert For Apartment Investors

The City of Portland's proposed budget includes a proposed change to the business license exemption. 

The exemption would be changed from "less than 10 units" to "less than $50,000 gross annually."
 
Every rental owner will have to file for a business license as a rental owner and can re-apply annually for an exemption if they gross under the $50,000 minimum.  According to the Rental Housing Authority of Greater Portland, exemption requests do not apply to LLCs.

The city budget is adopted sometime in May, 2012.
