Challenging to Investors
Bow Regulations
STRs are technically legal in Bow/Chelan County but face significant constraints including geographic caps (6% in most areas, 0% in Peshastin UGA), complex three-tier permitting system, strict occupancy limits, and comprehensive operational requirements. The annual renewal process, limited permit transferability, and substantial compliance burden for safety equipment, parking, noise control, and management plans create a challenging investment environment despite being permitted.
