HostReadyIn Gallatin County, short-term rentals are defined as residential dwelling units rented for 30 days or less (28 days in some districts). Short-term rentals are only allowed in zoning districts that explicitly mention them in their regulations; in the Gallatin Canyon/Big Sky district, they are a Permitted Use within specified sub-districts. A Public Accommodations License through the Gallatin City-County Health Department is required to operate a short-term rental.
