Unincorporated Snohomish County imposes no cap on rental nights. SCC 30.28.020(3)(f) states there is no limit on the number of days a guest may stay at the establishment. However, occupancy of one month or more is treated as a lease and falls outside the transient lodging tax.
SCC 30.28.020(3)(f) expressly provides that "there is no limit on the number of days a guest may stay at the establishment," so the county does not impose annual night caps or minimum-stay requirements on a permitted bed-and-breakfast. For tax purposes, though, the lodging tax code (SCC 4.40.010 / 4.41.010) presumes that occupancy of a continuous month or more is a rental or lease, not taxable transient lodging. So while there is no operational night cap, stays crossing the one-month threshold change the tax treatment. City STR ordinances elsewhere in the county may impose their own annual night limits.
Because there is no county night cap, enforcement in this area focuses on permit and tax compliance rather than length-of-stay limits.
