Washoe County releases draft for short-term rentals


Are you an AirBnB or VRBO host? Or are you considering entering the short-term rental space? If so, then you may be interested in Washoe County’s proposed recommendations for short-term rentals.

Some of the recommendations on the table include:

  • Short-term rental (STR) permit required
  • Designated 24/7 responsible party who can respond to issues within a 30-minute timeframe
  • Annual renewal of STR permit
  • Applicable room taxes to be paid
  • Designated parking spaces to be provided
  • Occupancy limits

…and more.

Please note: These recommendations apply only to STRs in unincorporated Washoe County — meaning outside of Reno and Sparks.

These recommendations for consideration by the Board of County Commissioners will be heard at the Board’s November 12th, 2019 meeting at, or after, 1:30PM. Click here for the meeting agenda and location.
