Sandy does not impose a specific annual night cap on short-term rentals, but the 30-day threshold defines what counts as short-term versus long-term rental.
Unlike cities such as San Francisco or Portland, Sandy has not adopted a specific annual cap on the number of nights a short-term rental can be booked. Instead, Sandy regulates STRs through zoning and licensing, with the primary distinction being the 30-day rule: stays under 30 days are short-term and subject to lodging tax and STR licensing, while stays of 30+ days are treated as long-term tenancies under Utah landlord-tenant law. Operators must ensure their zone permits STR use regardless of nights booked.
