Short-Term Rental Regulations
Eden is unincorporated Ogden Valley and governed by Weber County’s nightly-rental ordinance. Short-term rentals are legal but tightly zoned: only properties on parcels shown as eligible on the county’s GIS ‘Nightly Rentals’ planning layer can legally operate. The zoning map uses color codes: green-designated parcels (Destination Resort Zone or PRUD with nightly-rental approval) require a Weber County business license; purple-designated FR-3 parcels require a business license plus a conditional use permit. Red or standard residential parcels are prohibited, and there is no grandfather clause for operators who have been running outside permitted zones.
Applications are submitted through the county online portal. First-time applicants must undergo a property inspection, submit a parking and trash-disposal plan, and designate a responsible agent who can be on-site within 60 minutes of a complaint. The approved license number must appear in all advertisements. Enforcement is rated strict: the county contracts Granicus for 24/7 multi-platform monitoring and operates a 24/7 complaint hotline. Penalties escalate from warnings to fines reportedly set at double the advertised nightly rate per day of violation, with possible license revocation.
A major governance change is underway. In November 2024, Ogden Valley residents voted to incorporate as Ogden Valley City, an incorporation that took effect in 2025. Over time, Ogden Valley City is expected to assume land-use and STR authority from Weber County, though the timeline for the transition has not been finalized. Operators should monitor both Weber County and the new Ogden Valley City for any rule changes.
In January 2023, Weber County added noise limits, parked-car limits, and the Granicus monitoring system. At the time of that 2023 update, only approximately 40 of an estimated 800 STRs were properly registered, indicating a substantial compliance gap historically. The Weber County transient room tax rate is 4.25%. No owner-occupancy or primary-residence requirement applies. No maximum-nights cap was found.
Market Comparison
Eden’s April 2026 occupancy of 47.3% is below the US STR median of approximately 55%, typical for a shoulder month in a winter-and-summer dual-season mountain market. The ADR of $135 is below the national median of approximately $220, reflecting the small-community scale of Eden relative to major ski resorts.
The YoY performance stands out: occupancy up 6.9%, ADR up 3.9%, and revenue up 6.6% as of April 2026 makes Eden the only market in this batch showing positive growth across all three dimensions simultaneously. This contrasts with four of the five markets in this analysis, which showed occupancy declines.
The typical home value of $824,000 compresses yield. At the 2025 full-year average revenue of $2,558/month, the annualized gross yield on typical home value is approximately 3.7%, below most comparable mountain resort markets.
Utah Homes and Vacation Rentals leads with 130 listings and the highest average rating of the top five at 4.85 across 3,783 reviews. Evolve manages 58 listings with a 4.79 rating. Mountain Luxury Lodging holds 52 listings. Together the top three operators account for 240 listings, roughly 11% of market inventory. Bee Cave Management (51 listings, 4.94 rating) and Wolf Creek Resort Rentals (43 listings, 4.94 rating) have unusually high ratings for smaller operators.
The total score of 44 is constrained by the regulatory environment (55) and investability (53), but the seasonality (85) and current momentum (positive YoY across all metrics) are the market’s key strengths.
