Market Overview
Incline Village occupies the Nevada north shore of Lake Tahoe at roughly 6,300 feet elevation and draws two distinct travel peaks: winter ski season anchored by Diamond Peak Ski Resort, and summer lake season centered on Sand Harbor State Park and private IVGID beaches. April 2026 represents the spring trough between these peaks, which explains the 24.7% occupancy reading for that month. Historically, April averages 33.4% occupancy across all years in the dataset, and July reaches 69.8%.
The market recorded a $405 average daily rate in April 2026, with RevPAR of $100. Year-over-year, ADR rose 4.8% but occupancy fell 17.7% and revenue declined 10.4%, consistent with a weak spring transition month.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Incline Village STRs operate under Washoe County Code Chapter 110, Article 319. Any rental of 28 days or fewer requires an active Washoe County STR permit before advertising or accepting bookings. Permits are tiered by maximum guest occupancy: Tier 1 (up to 10 guests) costs $500 per year, Tier 2 (11 to 20 guests) costs $1,000, and Tier 3 (over 20 guests) costs $1,500 plus $65 per occupant above 20.
Applications are accepted on the 8th of each month, with the county taking up to 28 days to process. Each owner is limited to one permit unless a legal accessory dwelling unit exists on the property. Occupancy caps at two guests per bedroom plus two additional guests. One paved on-property parking space is required per four occupants. All applicants must pass a building inspection and a North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District defensible space inspection. A 24/7 local contact must respond to neighbor complaints within 30 minutes.
Nevada AB363 requires a minimum of $500,000 in liability insurance and a designated local representative. Washoe County transient occupancy tax is 13%, of which 3.3125% funds the Incline Village Crystal Bay Visitors Bureau. There is no county cap on total permits or annual rental nights. Operating without a permit is treated as a public nuisance, with fines exceeding $1,000 per day.

Market Comparison
Incline Village’s $405 ADR is nearly double the US STR median of approximately $220, placing it among the highest-ADR markets nationally. The market’s 24.7% April occupancy is significantly below the US median of approximately 55%, but this is a seasonal data point; the July historical average of 69.8% exceeds the national median.
The total market score of 45.3 reflects the challenge of high entry cost, sharp seasonality, and moderate regulatory burden relative to peer resort markets. Revenue growth scores 70.5, indicating the market has shown above-average revenue trajectory over the past several years despite occupancy normalization since the 2020 and 2021 peaks.
