Idaho H0583 revises regulations on short-term rentals, limiting local government authority over their operation and taxation.

Idaho H0583 amends existing law to limit local governments' ability to regulate short-term rentals and impose taxes on them. It prohibits counties and cities from enacting ordinances that prohibit short-term rentals or impose different restrictions than those on single-family dwellings. Local governments can only require certain safety measures, such as smoke alarms and fire extinguishers. The bill also limits local governments from requiring licenses, fees, permits, certifications, or registrations for short-term rentals.
