Short-term rentals (STRs), commonly referred to as "vacation rentals" in Cavalier County, North Dakota, are legal and generally well-regulated at the county and city levels. The local government allows these rentals through specific zoning regulations that can include cabins, single-family homes, and some properties in both rural and urban settings, thriving particularly in scenic areas used by tourists. While the market is influenced by tourism, especially during the summer months due to outdoor activities and hunting seasons, there is also a market for business travelers seeking longer stays. The Cavalier County Board of Commissioners oversees the regulation of short-term rentals, including licensing and safety compliance.
