Short-term rentals (STRs), commonly referred to as Vacation Home Rentals (VHRs), in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, are permitted but face specific regulations. Significant restrictions limit their operation, particularly in South Lake Tahoe, where Measure T enacted in 2018 has banned STRs in city neighborhoods, although rentals are allowed in tourist-designated areas and some county neighborhoods, contingent on permit availability and zoning rules. Properties undergoing rental include rural cabins and residential homes around the lake, appealing primarily to vacationers and tourists, especially during seasonal peaks associated with skiing and summer activities. The Douglas County government oversees these regulations, maintaining a cap of 600 permits and utilizing a waitlist process when the limit is reached. Current regulations vary by county, with some areas like Incline Village having fewer restrictions but still requiring permits from Washoe County.
