La Verkin Regulations
La Verkin explicitly prohibits new vacation rentals in residential zones, effectively blocking most STR investment opportunities. This strict prohibition, combined with reliance on existing grandfathered operations or commercially zoned properties, creates a high regulatory barrier that deters new entrants despite tourism demand from Zion National Park.
