Notes for investors

Effective July 1, 2026, Idaho HB 583 preempts all McCall STR permit requirements. No city STR permit, fee, cap, owner-occupancy rule, day-of-year limit, or STR-specific parking/insurance/structural requirement is enforceable. STRs are classified as 'nontransient residential use' under the amended Idaho Code Section 67-6539 - i.e., zoned like a single-family home. Standard state/local sales tax and Idaho Travel & Convention Tax still apply and platforms (Airbnb, Vrbo) remit these. McCall must repeal Chapter 13 STR permit code. Fire code and generally applicable building code compliance still apply. This is one of the most permissive STR regulatory regimes in the US as of the verification date.

How do I estimate the Year-1 bonus depreciation on a specific McCall property?

Once you've verified the regulatory profile of a listing you're considering, run a $99 DepreciMax property report to size the actual Year-1 §168(k) bonus depreciation deduction.
