What is short term rental?

Short-term rentals (STRs), commonly referred to as "vacation rentals," are permitted in Jefferson County, Oklahoma, although local regulations apply. While the overall state laws do not mandate specific licensing for STRs, Jefferson County requires property owners to seek a special exemption from the Board of Adjustment, followed by a permit application to the Planning and Zoning Division for STR operation. Popular types of properties catering to this market include cabins and homes situated in rural areas, appealing to visitors seeking outdoor recreational experiences. The demand is largely driven by tourism, especially for those seeking escape into nature, though some bookings may come from business travelers due to the county's relatively rural setting. The Jefferson County Planning and Zoning Division is the responsible authority for overseeing STR regulations. For official information, visit the Jefferson County website.
