Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Stateline, NV

Airbnb listings are allowed in Stateline, NV, but with restrictions. Douglas County’s VHR program (Chapter 20.622) authorizes a limited number of VHRs in the Tahoe Township (Stateline area) with a county-wide cap of 600 and neighborhood-level density limits. VHRs are tiered by occupancy (Tier 1: owner-occupied; Tier 2: occupancy ≤10; Tier 3: occupancy >10) with insurance minimums ($500k–$1M), local contact requirements, and mandatory fire inspections. A permit is required before you can host. These rules apply to all short-term rental platforms (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, etc.) — not just Airbnb specifically.
