S.1263

Idaho S1263 revises regulations on short-term rentals, limiting local government authority and setting specific safety requirements.

Idaho S1263 amends existing law to restrict local governments from prohibiting short-term rentals and vacation rentals. It allows counties and cities to require licenses, permits, or certifications only if a property owner has four or more rentals or generates over $10,000 in annual revenue. Local governments can charge administrative fees for these licenses. They may also require safety measures such as smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, and escape ladders. Additionally, local governments can set occupancy limits and zoning requirements based on non-transient residential land use.
