Can I Airbnb in St. George, UT? (2026)

Short-term rentals (stays of 29 days or less) are legal in St. George only inside city-designated resort/planned-development areas (e.g., Las Palmas, Sports Village and other Green Valley communities, parts of Entrada and The Ledges, and the Desert Color Resort); they are prohibited in single-family residential zones, with a narrow exception for homes on 2+ acres fronting an arterial street. Operators must hold a city Short Term Rental business license (general business license fee $50/year, renewed annually) and collect roughly 13.3% in combined sales and transient room taxes. The single biggest restriction is location: if the property is not on the city's Approved Short Term Rental Properties list, it generally cannot be an STR. Always confirm current requirements with the city before operating.

What’s required: a Short Term Rental Business License (City of St. George business license) ($50) is required; occupancy taxes apply; renew annual.
