West Lafayette prohibits non-owner occupied short-term rentals in single-family residential zones (R-1, R-2) while requiring permits and safety inspections in allowed commercial and multi-family zones.
You can only operate a full-time short-term rental (Transient Guest House) in specific zones like R-3 or commercial areas. In single-family neighborhoods, you are generally limited to renting out spare rooms while you live there or renting your entire home for no more than 60 days per year. All hosts must register their property with the city, pass a safety inspection, and collect state and county taxes.
