In the 2022 presentation, the county showed that Pacific City has 278 licensed STRs. If you look at their map, most of them are west of the Nestucca River, in HOA neighborhoods near the beach.

Tillamook County's current STR committee is working on reviewing the current STR process and setting a new set of rules and restrictions to licensed STRs.

Currently, due to an order from the Board of Commissioners, the county will not issue any new STR permits. This pause took affect July 1, 2022. Originally held permits are still active and transferrable if a property is sold.
