In Shawnee County, Kansas, short-term rentals (STRs) are defined as residential properties rented out for periods of less than 30 days. These rentals are legal but are subject to regulation by local authorities, particularly the City Council of Shawnee. Owners must obtain a business license from the city to operate STRs, which primarily include residential homes, apartments, and potentially cabins in rural areas. The market is influenced by both tourists and business travelers, with demand driven by local events, attractions, and the proximity to urban amenities in Topeka. Overall, the STR market is developing, though increasing regulations signify a move towards managing the impact on community and housing. The primary regulatory body is the City of Shawnee, which provides guidelines and requirements for STR licensing.
