Leavenworth Regulations
Leavenworth effectively prohibits STRs in residential zones, allowing them only in commercial districts after costly conversions to R‑1 (sprinklers, alarms, accessibility) plus multiple city/state licenses; surrounding Chelan County applies strict tiers and density caps with current reports of no new permits in the Leavenworth subarea, further limiting supply and raising compliance risk.
