Short-term rentals (STRs) in Boone County, Kentucky, are legal and subject to specific regulations by the Boone County Fiscal Court. Known locally as STRs, these rentals are defined as dwellings rented for less than 30 consecutive days and can be located in various zones, including agriculture and residential districts. Properties such as cabins in rural areas tend to thrive due to their appeal to tourists seeking natural experiences, while other types, like apartments, cater to business travelers due to proximity to urban amenities. The market environment is significantly influenced by tourism, particularly as visitors explore the scenic beauty of the region, although there is also demand from professionals visiting for work. To operate, hosts must obtain a Short Term Rental Permit from the Boone County Occupational License Office, adhere to zoning regulations, and comply with safety requirements, including insurance and occupancy limits. The Boone County Occupational Licensing department oversees these regulations.
