Market Overview
This profile covers the Teton Valley, Idaho STR market, which includes Driggs and nearby Victor. Performance figures below describe the Teton Valley STR market as a whole rather than Driggs alone, because the metric series is shared between the two towns. In September 2026, the Teton Valley STR market averaged a daily rate of $548, occupancy of 78.2%, and revenue of $11,268 per listing for the month. Entire-home listings averaged $559 per night. RevPAR is not published for this period.
Year over year, occupancy rose 8.2%, ADR rose 7.1%, and revenue rose 16.4%. The gains came from both more booked nights and higher rates, which is a stronger signal than growth driven by price alone. Over a longer view, annual average occupancy moved from 45.3% in 2017 to 58.1% in 2025, while ADR rose from $424 to $538. The first nine months of 2026 average 64.6% occupancy, a $581 ADR and $9,652 in monthly revenue, ahead of the full 2025 figures of 58.1%, $538 and $8,196.
Driggs is a town of 2,263 residents, and the area draws about 75,000 visitors a year. Demand is tied to outdoor recreation. Grand Targhee Resort, roughly 20 miles from downtown Driggs, records over 200,000 skier visits annually, and Grand Teton National Park sits about 32 miles away, which makes Driggs a lower-cost base camp for park visitors. Summer brings hikers, mountain bikers and fly-fishers on the Teton River.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short-term rentals are permitted in Driggs, and a permit is required. Within city limits, all rentals under 30 days require an Annual Short-Term Rental Permit under Ordinances 423-21 and 450-22, regardless of zone. The initial fee is $80 and the annual renewal is $50, due by March 1. Renewal requires a tax report showing nights rented, gross rental price and taxes remitted (Ordinance 494-25). Permits are non-transferable, must be posted on site with house rules, and require Fire Marshal and Building Inspector inspections before issuance.
Operators must designate a local representative who permanently resides within 20 vehicular miles of city limits.
There is no owner-occupancy or primary residence requirement and no cap on nights per year. Idaho State Code 67-6539 prohibits municipalities from effectively banning STRs, and bills seeking to restrict local authority (House Bill 506 in 2024 and Senate Bill 1162 in 2025) failed to pass.
On taxes, the Driggs lodging tax rose from 6% to 8% on January 1, 2026, after voters approved it on November 4, 2025 (Ordinance 501-26). With the 6% Idaho sales tax and 2% travel and convention tax, the combined burden is 16% of gross receipts. Airbnb and VRBO collect and remit state taxes, but operators remain responsible for the city tax.
Outside city limits, unincorporated Teton County has no zoning restrictions on standard STRs but requires a county STR business permit with wastewater sufficiency verification. Enforcement is rated moderate. Confirm current rules with the city or county before buying.
Market Comparison
In September 2026, the Teton Valley STR market recorded 78.2% occupancy and a $548 ADR. Year to date in 2026, occupancy averages 64.6% and ADR averages $581, ahead of the full 2025 figures of 58.1% and $538.
The off-season looks very different. On the seasonal averages, April at 25.3% and November at 25.9% occupancy sit far below July at 75.4%, a swing of about 50 points. The lowest ADR of the year is $333 in May, while the highest is $622 in December.
The picture is a market with strong peak demand, offset by deep shoulder-season troughs. Investors comparing Driggs with other destinations should weigh the annual seasonal revenue sum of $78,088 for the region against the high entry cost, with a typical home value of $805,334, rather than relying on a single peak month.
