Short-term rentals (STRs), commonly referred to in Teton County, Idaho, as "vacation rentals," require a permit to operate legally. The City of Driggs mandates that all STRs, including those listed on platforms like Airbnb and VRBO, submit an application for a Short Term Rental Permit, which must be renewed annually. The property must be located within city limits, and STR owners are required to collect and remit various taxes, including state sales tax and local lodging tax. The STR market in Teton County effectively caters to both tourists seeking outdoor activities and individuals attending local events, with demand thriving for cabins in rural areas and vacation homes closer to parks and ski resorts. The Teton County Planning and Zoning Department oversees the regulatory framework for STRs, focusing on ensuring community standards are met.
