Ada County cannot limit how many nights per year a short-term rental operates. Idaho Code 67-6539 prohibits imposing a limit on the days a property can be rented, so no annual night cap applies.
Idaho Code 67-6539(2)(a)(xi) lists 'imposing a limit on the days a property can be rented' among the STR-specific restrictions that counties and cities may not enforce. Ada County and cities like Boise, Meridian and Eagle therefore cannot set an annual maximum number of rental nights or days. STRs may operate year-round, subject only to generally applicable residential, safety, nuisance and tax rules. This distinguishes Idaho from states where cities cap non-hosted rentals at, for example, 90 or 180 nights per year.
No night-cap ordinance may be enforced; operation is limited only by the generally applicable zoning, safety, nuisance and tax rules that apply to all dwellings.
