Short-term rentals (STRs), commonly referred to as vacation rentals, are currently legal but under evolving regulations in Buchanan County, Missouri, specifically in St. Joseph, the largest city in the county. The local government is in the process of implementing more structured regulations, as residents have expressed concerns about the growing number of STRs impacting community integrity. Properties such as houses and apartments flourish in urban areas, while demand also exists for rural cabins, especially for recreational purposes. The market trend indicates that Buchanan County caters predominantly to tourists, particularly those drawn by local attractions and events. The City Council of St. Joseph oversees these regulations, which include permitting processes and potential occupancy limits. For detailed information, the Buchanan County's Planning and Zoning Department, which is working on a framework for STRs, can be consulted at their official site:.
