CODE COMPLIANCE: Can I rent rooms from my home (or a property I own) and advertise on a vacation rental website?
A conditional use permit is required to operate a short term vacation rental (less than 30-day stays) for either a Bed and Breakfast or a Tourist Home. You may contact the Department of Development Services to obtain a permit application and the relevant code sections are found under PTMC, Bed and Breakfast Inns and Tourist Homes, Chapters 17.57 and Operation of Bed and Breakfast Inns and Tourist homes, Chapter 5.45.
Vacation rentals operating without an approved and issued conditional use permit for anything less than 30-day stays are out of compliance with the PTMC.
For more information on our short term rentals, please see our list of permitted short term rentals.
