Permit Requirements

Teton County, Wyoming (home to Jackson Hole, Teton Village, Grand Teton National Park gateway communities, and one of the most expensive resort housing markets in the United States) has one of the strictest short-term rental regimes in the western U.S. Under Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 6.1.4.A, no residential unit or portion of a residential unit in unincorporated Teton County may be rented for occupancy of less than 31 days. Short-term rentals (STRs) are PROHIBITED countywide except in a closed list of designated resort developments enumerated in LDR Section 6.1.5: The Aspens, Crescent H 'Fish Lodges,' Golf Creek (condominiums only), Teton Shadows (condominiums only), Teton Village Areas I & II, Spring Creek Ranch (up to 200 of 301 units), Snake River Sporting Club Resort Areas II & III, Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Resort (cabins only), Jackson Hole Racquet Club Resort/Teton Pines, and Grand Targhee Resort.
