Short-term rentals
Allowed with conditions
Allowed only in designated zones, with a nightly rental license, 24/7 local contact, and a posted license number.
Park City permits nightly rentals (under 30 days) only in zones where the Land Management Code designates them — most residential zones do not. Every rental property must pass a Building Department inspection, hold a Nightly Rental License, register for a Utah State Sales Tax ID, and designate a responsible party who lives within a one-hour drive of the property (or is a company with offices in Summit County), is available 24 hours a day, and can respond to telephone inquiries within 20 minutes. The license number must appear on every online listing. Enforcement is proactive, using third-party monitoring software to identify unlicensed listings.
