Short-term rentals (STRs), also known locally as vacation rentals, are legal in Camas County, Idaho, under specific zoning regulations set by the local government. The primary authority responsible for overseeing these regulations is the Camas County Planning and Zoning Department. STRs typically thrive in rural areas such as cabins and homes near outdoor attractions, catering primarily to tourists, especially those seeking activities like hiking and fishing in the picturesque landscapes. The rental market sees more seasonal demand tied to vacationers rather than business travelers. Operators must comply with a range of requirements, including obtaining the necessary building and zoning permits.
