What about taxes? It has to be illegal to claim one place as your primary residence for tax purposes then another as your primary residence for AirBNB purposes.

It is. If you're claiming a homestead exemption, and then renting the place out, that's illegal. If Portland's property tax agency is online, and you had the AirBNB address, you could easily confirm this (as the exemption would be listed on the property index page).
