Additional History and Development of the STR Licensing Program: 

The public process for updating the current STR program was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Echo Mountain Fire event.

Previously, two "Short Term Rental Workshops" which were held on 12.19.19 and 2.13.20. Public input, meeting recordings, sign in sheets and more - are available at Short Term Rental Workshop Page

The Board of Commissioners adopted Ordinance Number 487, Number 490, and #509 to establish conditions for the operation of short term rentals of dwelling units located within the unincorporated areas of Lincoln County and to implement a licensing program to ensure compliance with those standards.
