Sugarloaf Regulations
STRs are permitted countywide under clear, online permitting with moderate fees ($667) and two inspections; annual renewal ($600) and a 100% exam add steps but are manageable. Occupancy caps (12 guests) and operational rules (1‑hour response, quiet hours, parking) are strict yet predictable, and enforcement is active but consistent with no hard caps on STR permits, keeping risk tolerable for investors.
