HostReadyBoone regulates two types of short-term rentals: homestay rentals (up to 2 bedrooms in an owner-occupied primary residence, with the full-time resident present during the rental term) and vacation rentals (dwellings of up to 6 bedrooms, allowed only in B1DC, B1DI, B2, and B3 commercial zoning districts). All operators must obtain an annual zoning permit ($530) and renew it yearly. Permits are non-transferable, and operators must comply with state/local building, fire, and tax laws.
Licensing and Permits
Boone requires hosts to obtain an STR license or permit before listing their property on platforms like Airbnb or VRBO. An inspection is required as part of the permitting process.
Enforcement
Boone has high enforcement of STR regulations. Operating without proper licensing or failing to comply with local regulations can result in citations, fines, and potential loss of your permit.
