Indianola Regulations
Indianola permits STRs across all residential zones (A‑1/R‑1/R‑2/R‑3/R‑4) with clear steps and a predictable biennial inspection/registration under the residential rental code. The process entails moderate fees, a required inspection certificate, local agent designation for out‑of‑state owners, and maintenance code compliance, but there are no caps or occupancy limits and the city provides a supportive, known compliance pathway.
