There is no county-wide STR registry. Bountiful requires a permit that does not run with the land, so a new owner must reapply. STRs are prohibited in non-conforming or non-compliant structures and must meet all state and local law.
Registration is a city function. In Bountiful, a Short-Term Rental Permit is tied to the current owner and property; the permit does not run with the land, so a sale or ownership transfer requires a new application under the code in effect at that time. Bountiful allows STRs only within an approved accessory dwelling unit and prohibits them within a non-conforming use or non-compliant structure. Layton keeps STR operators under its general residential business-license process rather than a dedicated registry. Unincorporated properties register any qualifying land use through the Davis County Planning Division under Title 15.
Transferring or advertising without a valid current-owner permit can void the permit and trigger enforcement. Non-conforming structures cannot be permitted as STRs.
