Washoe County sets no cap on the number of nights an STR may rent and no minimum booking length. Any rental under 28 days needs a permit. The permit prohibits events, parties, and weddings, and allows only one group at a time.
Washoe County's STR FAQ confirms there is no minimum number of days required to rent and no cap on rental nights; any booking of less than 28 days triggers the permit requirement. Bookings of 28 days or more are not STRs. However, WCC 110.319.15 restricts intensity of use: no events, parties, or weddings are allowed or may be advertised (regardless of payment or family association), and the home may be rented to only one group or person at a time. The owner and any renters must comply with all occupancy and parking limits at all times, including during personal use of a permitted home.
Hosting or advertising events, parties, or weddings violates WCC 110.319.15(4); enforced through nuisance and administrative procedures under WCC 50.308 and Chapter 125 and can result in fines and permit revocation.
