Can I Airbnb in Jackson, WY? (2026)
Short-term rentals (under 30 days) are legal anywhere in the Town of Jackson only with both a Town Business License and a Basic Use Permit (BUP). Inside the Lodging Overlay/Planned Resort Zone (downtown and Snow King area) STRs operate under a one-time standard BUP with no night limits, though units are capped at 1,500 sq ft. Outside the overlay, in residential zones, STRs are sharply restricted: maximum 3 separate rentals and 60 total rental nights per calendar year, annual permit renewal, and annual neighbor notification; lodging stays are taxed at 12% total (7% sales tax + 5% statewide lodging tax).
What’s required: a Basic Use Permit (BUP); "BUP-Short Term Rentals" outside the Lodging Overlay (plus a Town of Jackson Business License) ($696) is required; there is a 60-night annual cap; occupancy taxes apply; renew annual.
