Tenants Right to Sublet

Tenants can sublet their rental property without the landlord’s consent unless the lease states otherwise or the property is government-owned. If landlord approval is required, tenants can use a Landlord Consent Form. [1]

Short-Term Rental / Lodgings Tax

  • In 2022, Ordinance 22-7 banned rentals of 30 to 90 days outside resort zones. A judge recently allowed existing operators to continue while the law is reviewed.[2]
  • Statewide, short-term rentals (less than 180 days) are subject to a 10.25% Transient Accommodations Tax.[3]
  • Counties can add their own tax on top of the 4.5% General Excise Tax.[4]
  • Some may require permits that will add to the costs.[5]
