Generally Investor friendly
Mountain City explicitly permits STRs with a modest $100 annual permit fee and no stated caps on units or nights (occupancy is standard). The process is more than a simple registration—operators need city and county business licenses, an annual inspection, $500,000 liability insurance, and full compliance with state safety requirements—plus the town is still formalizing its enforcement and revising the code, creating moderate regulatory uncertainty.
