Instead of a license, Pierce County Code 18A.37.040(B)(6) requires the owner to file a Vacation Rental Affidavit with Planning and Public Works. It states the owner's intent to operate the residence as a vacation rental, gives contact details, lists the advertising websites, and confirms neighbor notification was provided.
Registration in unincorporated Pierce County uses the Vacation Rental Affidavit under PCC 18A.37.040(B)(6). The owner attests to four things: intent to use the residence as a vacation rental; contact information for the owner, representative, or property-management company, with phone and email; a list of the internet sites where the rental is advertised; and confirmation that neighborhood notification was provided. Separately, PCC 18A.37.040(B)(5) requires notifying all property owners directly adjacent to the rental of the vacation-rental business. The affidavit is filed with Planning and Public Works, which publishes the form and a vacation-rental brochure. Statewide, RCW 64.37.040 requires listing platforms such as Airbnb and Vrbo to register with the Department of Revenue.
Advertising or operating a vacation rental without filing the Vacation Rental Affidavit, or without notifying directly adjacent neighbors, violates PCC 18A.37.040(B). Providing false affidavit information, or failing to update contact and advertising details, is enforceable as a zoning violation.
