Short-term rentals (STRs), also referred to locally as "vacation rentals," are legal in Douglas County, Kansas, but they are subject to specific zoning and regulatory requirements enforced by local authorities. The City of Lawrence, a prominent area within the county, has implemented regulations that include limits on the number of STR licenses available to property owners, which currently stands at three per individual in most parts of the city. STRs in Douglas County tend to thrive in urban areas such as Lawrence, where apartments and homes are popular, as well as in more rural settings that may feature cabins aimed at tourists seeking a getaway experience. The market is predominantly driven by tourism, particularly given Lawrence's vibrant cultural scene and events, although some properties also cater to business travelers. The Lawrence City Commission is primarily responsible for administering STR regulations, with ongoing discussions about policy adjustments to accommodate evolving market demands and housing concerns.
