Short-term rentals

Summit County Development Code (STR provisions — under revision)

Allowed with conditions

Allowed in unincorporated Summit County with a business license; full STR-specific framework still evolving.

Summit County requires a business license to operate any short-term rental in unincorporated areas (Snyderville Basin, Pinebrook, Promontory, Kimball Junction). A November 2023 council action banned short-term rentals in guest houses, in line with Utah state policy. The County is reviewing a broader STR regulatory package as of mid-2025; specifics are subject to change. Operators in unincorporated areas should treat enforcement as active and confirm current requirements with Summit County Community Development before listing.

  • Affirmative: Business license required for any STR in unincorporated Summit County
  • Restriction: STRs in guest houses banned (Summit County Council, November 2023)
  • Affirmative: Updated STR regulatory package under council review in 2025
  • Affirmative: Confirm current rules with Summit County Community Development before listing
