Short-Term Rental Regulations
Coram is an unincorporated community in Flathead County, so there is no city short-term rental ordinance. Rules come from Flathead County and the state of Montana, and short-term rentals are permitted. A permit is required and renews annually. Coram sits in the Glacier canyon corridor and falls under the Canyon Area Land Use Regulations (CALURS). Under CALURS, a short-term rental is an exempt use in the Upper Canyon but needs a Minor Land Use Review in the Middle Canyon, where Coram generally falls. That review is administrative, takes about 30 days and requires no neighbor notice. Parcels under standard county zoning instead need an administrative conditional use permit in many zones, or are permitted outright in others, and unzoned parcels need no Planning and Zoning permit. In every case operators must also hold a state Public Accommodation License. The permit cost is not published. Montana charges a combined 8% statewide lodging tax on stays under 30 days. There is no annual night cap, and no owner occupancy or primary residence requirement. Enforcement severity is rated moderate. On recent changes, Montana’s 2025 legislature raised property tax classification rates for short-term rentals, increasing carrying costs statewide, though it does not change permitting in Coram. No new Coram or canyon specific ordinance was identified for 2024 through 2026. Confirm current requirements with Flathead County before buying.
