In Jefferson County, Missouri, short-term rentals (STRs) are officially referred to as "short-term rental properties." These rentals are permitted but subject to specific regulations, which require property owners to obtain a Special Exception approval and a Short-Term Rental Permit through a two-step process with the local planning and zoning authority. Properties such as cabins in rural areas or single-family homes often thrive in this market, appealing primarily to tourists, especially during peak seasons. The demand is heightened by the area’s natural attractions and recreational opportunities. The local government oversees and regulates these rentals, ensuring compliance with zoning laws, safety standards, and occupancy limits, typically allowing a maximum of five unrelated guests or larger families. The economic environment is more oriented towards tourism, given the county's scenic attractions. For further details on regulations and the business landscape, visit the Jefferson County Planning & Zoning department's page on short-term rentals at and the Jefferson City official website at.
