Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Laramie County, WY

Airbnbs are effectively legal in Laramie County, WY because there are no specific short-term rental regulations on the books. Laramie County does not have codified STR-specific registration, zoning restrictions, occupancy caps, or primary-residence requirements. While definitions exist for 'Bed and Breakfast' (limited to 2 rooms, owner on-site) and 'Lodging House,' no specific rules govern short-term vacation rentals as a distinct category. 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.
