Notes for investors

Driggs is one of the most operator-friendly STR jurisdictions in the Tetons. Ordinance 450-22 charges $80 for the initial annual permit and $50 for renewals; the Fire Marshal and city Building Inspector may inspect before issuance. The one operational hard rule is a local representative who can be on-site within 30 minutes — plan for a property manager on the Idaho side of the pass. City levies an 8% local lodging tax on top of Idaho state sales tax. Unincorporated Teton County has no STR zoning restrictions, and Idaho Code §67-6539 preempts any future outright ban.
