Utah defines a short-term rental as a stay under 30 consecutive days. No Davis County city imposes an annual night cap, and state law bars local governments from punishing residents solely for advertising a short-term rental online.
There is no annual night-cap ordinance in Davis County; regulation focuses on permits, owner-occupancy, and where STRs may operate rather than counting nights. Under Utah law a short-term rental is a dwelling rented for fewer than 30 consecutive days, which is the dividing line between transient (taxed) lodging and a normal lease. Crucially, Utah Code 17-50-338 (counties) and 10-8-85.4 (municipalities) provide that a legislative body may not enact or enforce an ordinance that prohibits an individual from listing or offering a short-term rental on a short-term rental website, nor fine or punish someone solely for that listing. Cities may still cap occupancy, require permits, and enforce owner-occupancy.
There is no per-night violation, but operating without a required permit or breaching occupancy or owner-occupancy conditions can bring city penalties.
