Short-term rentals (STRs) in Warren County, Missouri, commonly referred to as "vacation rentals," are subject to specific local regulations. These rentals are legal but managed under strict zoning laws that separate them from traditional bed and breakfasts, requiring operators to obtain a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in certain residential and commercial zones. Properties like cabins in rural settings are popular, especially near recreational areas, while houses and condos also thrive in this market, catering primarily to tourists visiting natural attractions like the Missouri River and nearby state parks. The local market primarily serves both tourists and families seeking weekend getaways, thus fostering a tourism-driven business environment. The Warren County Planning and Zoning Commission oversees the regulations, ensuring compliance and addressing community concerns regarding noise and safety.
