Have a specific property in mind? Analyze it with a $99 report →Park City underwriting must start with the parcel's zoning district AND sub-neighborhood - the city's Nightly Rental Zoning GIS map is authoritative. Nightly rentals are broadly permitted in resort/hotel zones (RD, RDM, HRL-1/HRL-2 non-McHenry), in RC and RCO with a business license, and in most Old Town commercial-adjacent zones. They are PROHIBITED in the HRL McHenry Avenue sub-neighborhood and CAPPED at 12 CUPs in the HRL western sub-neighborhood. Lower Rossi Hill nightly rentals require a Conditional Use Permit with parking-limited rental agreements and posted property-management contact info.

Parcels in unincorporated Summit County (Snyderville Basin, Silver Springs, Kimball Junction) fall under the county's nightly-rental license and Snyderville Basin Development Code Title 10 - ADUs cannot be short-term rented anywhere in unincorporated Summit County.
