BRIDGE HOUSE USAGE

Would you like to reserve the Bridge House for your special event? Soon you’ll be able to make your reservation online, but for now, just download the Bridge House Reservation Form and turn it in to the Capes office at least two weeks prior to the requested date. Please note, due to some deck repair work starting on March 23, 2015, there will be no reservations allowed for approximately one week while that’s being completed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

HOME RENTALS

Are you renting out your home more than our community rules allow? We hope not! In addition to the rules for renting laid out by the CC&Rs, you also need to have a permit from Tillamook County to be able to legally rent your home. If you have questions, call the Tillamook Department of Community Development at 503-842-3408.
