I only plan to rent my unit once a year, do I need a short term rental license?

Yes, if you rent out your home for periods of less than 30 consecutive days, you must obtain a short term rental (STR) license .

Do I need a license before advertising my short term rental?

How do I find out if my property is located in unincorporated Summit County?

I am switching property management companies.  How do I update that information in my STR license?

The responsible agent/property manager on the active license will need to access the license via the Host Compliance portal and update the information.  Please note there is a $50 responsible agent change fee.

I recently purchased a home that has an active STR license.  How do I get the license switched over to my name?

All STR licenses are non-transferrable.  The current license will be closed when the purchase of the home is finaled and a new license will need to be submitted by the new owner.
