Short-term rentals (STRs), locally referred to as "vacation rentals," are heavily regulated in San Juan County, Utah. Regulations vary significantly depending on the area, with some regions allowing STRs under strict conditions while others, particularly rural areas, impose limitations. STRs can include a variety of properties, with cabins in scenic rural settings and vacation homes often attracting tourists looking for outdoor adventures near attractions like the Bears Ears National Monument. However, larger urban hotels still dominate the market as the primary accommodation choice for business travelers visiting the area. The local government, specifically the San Juan County Planning Administration, oversees the licensing and regulation of these rentals to manage zoning issues and ensure compliance with local laws. These measures are especially important given the increasing popularity of STRs in the region due to its natural beauty and tourist appeal.
