Truckee

The Town of Truckee strictly regulates short-term rentals with a cap on the total number of permits allowed (1,255) and a required 365-day waiting period for new property owners before they can apply. All hosts must obtain an annual certificate, pay 12% TOT plus a 2% TTBID assessment, and strictly adhere to occupancy and noise limits.

To host an Airbnb in Truckee, you must first navigate a town-wide cap on permits, which usually involves joining a waitlist. Even if a permit is available, you cannot apply until you have owned the property for at least one full year. Once you have a permit, you must collect a total of 14% in taxes from guests and ensure you have a 'bear box' for trash and a passing fire safety inspection. Renting out an ADU (granny flat) built after 2020 is strictly prohibited.
