Short-term rentals (STRs) in Oldham County, Kentucky, referred to as Short Term Rental Properties (STRPs), are legal but subject to specific regulations. To operate, hosts must obtain a Short-Term Rental Permit from Oldham County Planning & Development or a Short-Term Rental License from the City of La Grange, depending on the property's location. STRs primarily include residential properties such as single-family homes, and they cater to both tourists seeking serene countryside retreats and business travelers visiting nearby Louisville. The market sees significant demand for properties with unique amenities like cabins and homes on farms or with waterfront access, reflecting both leisure and corporate client interests. Operators are required to collect various taxes including a 6% Kentucky Sales Tax, a 1% Transient Tax, and an additional 3% Oldham County Transient Room Tax from guests. The government authority overseeing these regulations is the Oldham County Fiscal Court, and detailed information about the rules and application processes can be found on their official website at Oldham County Short Term Rentals and Tour Oldham County.
