Bozeman

Short-term rentals in Bozeman are strictly regulated based on occupancy type and zoning. All hosts must obtain an annual permit, with owner-occupied (Type 1) rentals having more flexibility than investment properties (Type 2/3).

To host an Airbnb in the City of Bozeman, you must first determine if you live in the home full-time (Type 1) or if it is an investment property (Type 2 or 3). You'll need to apply for a city permit, pay a $250 fee, and pass a fire safety inspection. Don't forget that Bozeman charges a 4% local resort tax on top of the state lodging tax, and you are responsible for making sure this is paid monthly.
