Short-term rentals (STRs), or vacation rentals, in La Porte County, Indiana, are currently under consideration for regulation by local authorities, as the city seeks to establish a clearer framework for these properties. Although there are informal STRs operating, the county does not have comprehensive regulations in place yet. Properties that thrive in this market include lakeside cabins, rural homes, and residential homes in urban areas, attracting both tourists and business travelers. The area sees varied demand, largely driven by tourism, especially during the summer months and events at nearby attractions, while also serving business visitors throughout the year. The La Porte City Council is the primary government authority evaluating and potentially regulating these rentals as they develop a registry and ordinances.
