Unincorporated Spokane County sets no maximum number of rented nights per year for a short-term rental. Because the use runs as a permitted or conditional zoning use rather than a capped STR license, there is no annual night limit. The Hearing Examiner may add operating conditions to a bed-and-breakfast CUP.
The county has no STR ordinance imposing a night cap (the type of 'X nights per year for un-hosted rentals' rule seen in some cities). A bed-and-breakfast operates as a home industry (conditional use) or, in commercial zones, as a permitted hotel/motel use; neither carries a statutory annual-night ceiling. The distinction that matters for taxes is duration per stay: lodging under 30 continuous days is a taxable transient rental. Any night-related limit would only arise as a discretionary condition in a Conditional Use Permit.
Since no night cap exists, enforcement centers on operating without required zoning approval or breaching CUP conditions, rather than counting rented nights.
