Generally Investor friendly
STRs are allowed citywide with no local licensing or caps, but zoning compliance, building permits (if structural work), shoreland and environmental permits, lodging tax registration, and potential inspections create moderate burden and uncertainty. The lack of explicit rules for non‑owner‑occupied STRs and discretionary enforcement risk makes it investor‑friendly yet not fully open. The state lodging‑tax regime and state land‑use codes (shoreland, subdivisions, plumbing) are the main drivers.
