Generally Investor friendly
Big Timber explicitly permits short‑term rentals in commercial zones as hotels/motels (HB, ICC, CBD) and allows owner‑occupied B&Bs in specific residential districts, with clear processes and no caps. The primary friction is owner‑occupancy and meal‑service requirements plus conditional‑use permitting in many residential areas, which add cost/complexity but remain manageable for investors focused on commercial districts.
