Short-Term Rental Permit Information | Short-Term Rental Permit RequirementBy City Code Title 4.1.1 (Click Here to view code), an active Short-Term Rental (STR) Permit (Click Here) is required to operate a short-term rental in the City of McCall. This requirement does not extend to the McCall Impact Area. It is the responsibility of the homeowner to hold the STR Permit as well as collect and remit the taxes for any rental units they operate if the tax is not being handled by a third party.Local Option Tax InformationDescription and Purpose/Use: In addition to the 3% Lodging Local Option Tax, all lodging within the McCall City limits is subject to the 1% sales tax and the additional 3% tax designated to street projects (effective January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2026) for a total of 7% sales tax collected under the Local Option Tax. This includes all hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts and short-term rentals of homes, condos, etc. The money from the 3% Lodging Local Option Tax is received and then distributed to winning grant applicants for projects directly benefiting the quality of life and/or tourism in McCall. The 3% Lodging Local Option Tax went into effect January 1, 2019 and will remain in effect until December 31, 2028.

It is the responsibility of the owner of the lodging establishment to ensure the tax is being collected and remitted to the City of McCall. The tax can be paid either monthly, quarterly, or annually (fiscal year end September 30). Airbnb, VRBO, Evolve, and some property management/vacation rental companies collect and remit the taxes for the owner of the STR. It is up to the owner to make sure the tax is being collected and remitted on their behalf, otherwise it is the owner’s responsibility to remit. This includes taxes for reservations taken not using a listing or management company.Land Use Code Requirements for Short-Term Rental Units City Code Title 3.13.036 (Click Here) specifies additional requirements of short-term rentals and a posting of those rules is required at each unit in view of the renters. A sample Short-Term Rental Guidelines Form (Click Here) for posting in each unit is available for use. If the short-term rental unit’s maximum occupancy is 11 or more persons, a Conditional Use Permit (Click Here) is required prior to obtaining a STR Permit.
