in Moose Pass, AK

Airbnbs are effectively legal in Moose Pass, AK because there are no specific short-term rental regulations on the books. No Moose Pass-specific STR ordinance or registration program was found on official Moose Pass or Kenai Peninsula Borough pages. State law requires an Alaska business license for persons collecting rental income. The Kenai Peninsula Borough has pursued a boroughwide short-term accommodations ('bed tax') ballot measure and has amended its remote seller sales tax code addressing marketplace facilitators for transient lodging. Operators should still verify HOA rules, state-level requirements, and any tax-collection obligations. See the official source linked on this page for full requirements. Last verified 2026-05-14.
