Short-term rentals (STRs), commonly referred to as short-term vacation rentals in Mason County, Washington, are currently legal but not specifically regulated by the county. This means that property owners can operate STRs without the stringent local regulations seen in many other jurisdictions. The Washington State law, RCW 64.37, does apply to these rentals, but local oversight is gestating as the county plans to develop its regulatory framework due to community concerns such as septic system overuse, noise, and trespassing issues. Properties that thrive in this market include cabins in rural areas and waterfront homes, particularly appealing to tourists looking for a getaway experience rather than business travelers, as the surrounding natural beauty and recreational opportunities draw visitors year-round. The Mason County Board of Commissioners is the local authority overseeing the planning for STR regulations, with discussions ongoing about how these rentals fit into the broader community context.
