Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Lucile, ID

Airbnbs are effectively legal in Lucile, ID because there are no specific short-term rental regulations on the books. Lucile is an unincorporated community; Idaho County Ordinance No. 67 treats unincorporated land as multi-use and publishes no county STR ban or detailed STR permitting rules. Idaho state law (Idaho Code §67-6539) treats short-term/vacation rentals as a residential land use, prohibits local bans, and allows only reasonable safety-related regulations (e.g., functioning smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, carbon monoxide detectors, and occupancy limits consistent with adopted building codes). 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.
