None. Kootenai County cannot require a host or manager to be present or on-site, because Idaho Code 67-6539 bars STR-specific management mandates. Unhosted, remotely managed rentals are permitted in the unincorporated county.
Among the obligations state law prohibits are requiring the owner to occupy the property and requiring professional or on-site management. Kootenai County therefore cannot force a host or local manager to be present during a stay, and its code contains no such rule. Owners may operate unhosted rentals or use off-site management. Many owners still voluntarily provide a 24/7 local contact, which is good practice and dovetails with the emergency-information handout that state law does allow a county to require. Confirm city rules if the property lies within an incorporated city.
No host-presence rule exists at the county level, so there is no associated penalty in unincorporated Kootenai County.
