Cedar Falls, IA

Cedar Falls Regulations

Short‑term rentals are clearly allowed citywide and follow a straightforward registration/permit system ($250 initial fee, 3‑year permit, inspection), with manageable occupancy limits set by a committee rather than hard caps. Costs and administrative steps (committee schedule, driveway hard‑surface, periodic inspections) are moderate but not prohibitive, and the city’s tone toward STRs is largely supportive, keeping investor risk at a manageable level.
