In Nemaha County, Nebraska, short-term rentals (STRs), often referred to locally as "vacation rentals," are legal and regulated under state law. Local jurisdictions cannot outright ban these rentals but can impose health and safety regulations. STRs include diverse properties, ranging from cozy rural cabins to houses in quaint towns, catering primarily to tourists seeking unique stays in a picturesque environment. The market is influenced predominantly by tourism, especially during peak seasons for outdoor activities and local events, though there is some demand from business travelers given the county's proximity to various business hubs. Property owners must comply with health and safety requirements, register their rentals, and collect applicable taxes, including the state hotel occupancy tax. The Nemaha County Board of Commissioners oversees the regulations pertaining to short-term rentals. For more detailed information, visit the official county website at.
