Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short-term rentals are permitted in Incline Village, but they require a Washoe County STR permit (Article 319, Chapter 110) before any listing is advertised or booked. Any rental of 28 days or fewer falls under the rule. The permit is issued annually. Fees are tiered by maximum occupancy: Tier 1 (up to 10 guests) costs $500, Tier 2 (11 to 20 guests) costs $1,000, and Tier 3 (over 20 guests) costs $1,500 plus $65 per occupant above 20. A new fee schedule took effect December 1, 2024. Applications are accepted on the 8th of each month, and the county can take up to 28 days to review them for completeness.
There is no permit cap in Washoe County and no annual cap on rental nights. Owner occupancy and primary residence are not required. Owners are limited to one permit unless they have a legal accessory dwelling on the property. Occupancy is capped at two people per bedroom plus two additional guests, and one paved on-property parking space is required per four occupants. Applicants must pass a building inspection and a North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District defensible space inspection, and a 24/7 local contact must respond within 30 minutes. Nevada AB363 requires $500,000 in minimum liability insurance and a designated local representative.
Operators collect and remit a 13% transient occupancy tax to Washoe County. Permits cover most of Incline Village and Crystal Bay in unincorporated Washoe County, and many condominium HOAs prohibit STRs outright, so buyers should verify CC&Rs. STR guests do not get access to IVGID private beaches. Enforcement is rated moderate, and operating without a permit is treated as a public nuisance with fines above $1,000 per day.
Market Comparison
The Lake Tahoe STR market is a high-rate, lower-occupancy market. September 2026 occupancy was 40.8% at a $471 ADR.
The tradeoff matters for underwriting. Occupancy is soft in the shoulder months, with October at 30.9% and April at 33.4%, but July reaches 69.9% and February reaches 56.3%. Rate does the work here. Full year 2025 averaged 47.2% occupancy, yet its $474 ADR and $5,992 monthly revenue reflect a market where each booked night carries a high price.
Growth is also positive. Revenue rose 9.9% year over year in September 2026, with occupancy up 11.5%. Investors comparing Incline Village against lower-priced markets should weigh the $1,538,358 typical home value against the revenue per listing, since the entry price is high.
