Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Webster County, LA

Airbnbs are effectively legal in Webster County, LA because there are no specific short-term rental regulations on the books. No Webster Parish short-term rental (STR) ordinance or permitting guidance was found on official parish pages or the Municode library. However, the City of Minden zoning code explicitly allows the use of a household unit for commercial lodging (STR) for periods of less than 30 days as an accessory use to a principal household living use. No parish-level language regarding caps, occupancy limits, or platform rules was identified. Operators should still verify HOA rules, state-level requirements, and any tax-collection obligations.
