St. George

Short-term rentals in St. George are strictly regulated and only permitted in specific zones or developments where STR use was explicitly approved during the platting process. Operating an STR in a standard residential zone (like R-1) is generally prohibited, and the city actively enforces these restrictions with fines starting at $750.

To host an Airbnb in St. George, you first need to make sure your specific neighborhood allows it—most residential streets do not. If your property is in an approved zone, you must apply for a $300 business license and pass a fire safety inspection. You also need to show proof of $500,000 in liability insurance and provide a 24/7 local contact who lives within 15 miles. St. George does not allow you to rent out ADUs, basements, or casitas for short-term stays; only the main dwelling unit in approved areas can be licensed.
