Operating a short-term rental in McCall requires an annual Vacation Rental Permit from the City Clerk. Regulations are strict, with specific rules for occupancy limits, off-street parking, and having a local contact available 24/7. Hosts must collect and remit a total of 14% in taxes, with 6% in local taxes being the host's direct responsibility.
To host an Airbnb in McCall, you must get an annual Vacation Rental Permit from the city. Before you apply, make sure your property isn't in an R1 or R2 zone, where STRs are banned. You'll need to prove you have enough off-street parking and designate a local contact who can get to the property within 60 minutes if there's an issue. Be sure to include your permit number on your listing and remember that while Airbnb handles state taxes, you are personally responsible for filing and paying the 6% in local McCall taxes.
