STR Rule Watch

Can I Airbnb in Broken Bow, OK? (2026)

Yes, but with real restrictionsRestricted

Broken Bow has no short-term-rental permit or license program, but Ordinance No. 428 (adopted February 20, 2024) prohibits STRs citywide except on land zoned C-5 Highway Commercial and Commercial Recreation District, with grandfathering only for long-established hotels/motels. Operators owe 10.25% combined sales tax plus the city's 5% lodging tax, which became state-administered (and platform-collected) on January 1, 2026. Always confirm current requirements with the city before operating.

What’s required: no dedicated STR permit is required; occupancy taxes apply.
