Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Labette County, KS

Airbnbs are effectively legal in Labette County, KS because there are no specific short-term rental regulations on the books. No explicit short-term/vacation-rental ordinance or STR-specific rules located on official Labette County or City of Parsons/Oswego municipal code pages. Labette County Zoning Regulations (effective July 12, 2024) apply to unincorporated areas and state that zoning permits and occupancy certificates are required for regulated uses; the City of Parsons has an ordinance titled "Registration of Rental Properties" (Ordinance #6555) and property/registration provisions in the municipal code, but the official texts reviewed do not state STR-specific zoning districts, occupancy caps, minimum-night stays, or host-presence requirements. 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.
