Short-Term Rental Regulations
Ogden allows short-term rentals but regulates them tightly through a mandatory Ogden City Short-Term Rental License, renewed annually. Applications require property details plus safety and building inspections coordinated with Building Services and the Fire Marshal, along with written notification to neighbors within 300 feet.
Owner-occupied STRs are permitted in any residential zone; in R-1 (single-family) zones, only owner-occupied STRs are allowed at all. Non-owner-occupied STRs are restricted to multiple-family and higher-density zones, capped at one per block, and require the owner to have held the property continuously for three years before operating it as an STR. Downtown commercial zones allow STRs but cap them at 10 units per building. Operators must appoint a manager reachable within 30 minutes during rentals and distribute a ‘Good Neighbor’ brochure to guests.
Lodging taxes apply on stays under 30 days: Utah’s transient room tax (about 4.25%) plus a transit tax (about 0.25%) and state and local sales tax (about 6.85%), a combined rate near 11.35%; Airbnb collects some of these automatically.
Enforcement is rated strict, with fines up to $1,000 per day and grounds for denial or revocation including nuisance violations, failure to maintain original license conditions, and sham transactions. The three-year ownership requirement and one-per-block cap effectively limit new non-owner-occupied STR entry in most residential areas. Ogden last updated its STR ordinance via Ordinance 2024-12, refining licensing, zoning, and owner-occupancy provisions.
Market Comparison
The Ogden area’s 62.9% June 2026 occupancy runs well above the roughly 55% median occupancy across StaySTRA-tracked US STR markets, while its $179 average daily rate sits below the roughly $220 national median ADR. That combination, strong occupancy at a below-average rate, is a pattern common in ski-adjacent markets where winter rate premiums, rather than summer volume, drive a meaningful share of annual revenue.
Top-operator data is tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Ogden, so this profile omits it. The market’s ski-season revenue premium (February and March revenue actually exceeding the summer peak) is a distinctive pattern relative to more purely summer-driven StaySTRA-tracked markets, and the 3-year ownership requirement for non-owner-occupied STRs is a meaningfully stricter entry barrier than most other markets in this batch. Buyers should weigh Ogden’s strict zoning and ownership rules against its dual-season revenue pattern, since the market rewards patient, compliant operators more than quick-turnaround investment plays.
