Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Eden, UT

Airbnb listings are allowed in Eden, UT, but with restrictions. Weber County allows short-term rentals in unincorporated areas only where the zone permits; STRs require a county short-term rental license and commercial business license. Key constraints: accessory dwelling units and certain restricted housing are ineligible; occupancy is limited to two people per bedroom plus four, up to a 10-person max; minimum rental duration is generally three consecutive days (except in the DRR-1 zone); owners must designate a Responsible Agent available to respond within 60 minutes. 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.

It's being reviewed. Weber County has initiated a density study for the Powder Mountain and Nordic Valley ski corridors. If the review finds that STR concentration is affecting housing availability, new permit limits or caps could be imposed in that corridor.
