Leavenworth

Short-term rentals in the City of Leavenworth are heavily regulated and strictly prohibited in most residential zones (RL and MF), primarily allowed only in commercial districts. Existing 'grandfathered' residential permits are subject to non-transferability and annual renewal requirements.

To host an Airbnb in the City of Leavenworth, you must first verify your property is in a permitted commercial zone, as most residential areas are banned from new STR use. You will need an annual license costing $500 and a state business license. All units must pass a safety inspection and follow strict occupancy limits (max 12 people). Make sure to post your permit number on all online listings to avoid fines of $500 per day.
