Can I Airbnb in Island Park? 2026 Short-Term Rental Rules
Is Airbnb legal in Island Park?
Island Park (Fremont County, zip 83429) is Idaho's premier Yellowstone-gateway STR market, with 711 active listings and one of the highest ADRs in the state (~$327–$406/night). GetchAlet reports a ~7.23% average gross yield and ~$39–$40K/yr average annual revenue. The market is highly seasonal (July–September peak, winter trough), but large cabin properties (5+ bedrooms) can generate $80K–$106K/yr. Idaho HB 583 has explicitly wiped out Fremont County's previously more burdensome owner-occupancy and property-management company requirements. Price entry (~$558K Zillow ZHVI) is higher than other Idaho markets, which moderates the cash-flow score; however, the premium nightly rates and genuine gross yield above 7% keep it competitive on a yield basis. Recent/pending changes: Idaho HB 583 — signed March 16, 2026, effective July 1, 2026 — is the dominant recent change. It represents the most sweeping state-level STR preemption in the country, eliminating Fremont County's previous Class I commercial permit framework for STRs. A prior effort, SB 1162 (2025), failed but preceded this successful 2026 push. Some state legislators have signaled the balance between state preemption and local control may be revisited in future sessions.

All Idaho cities →How we research this
The STRVE Score is our own regulation rating, built from seven levels of authority: state, county, town, HOA, deed restrictions, special districts, and platform rules. Each level is scored separately, with its own citations and the date we verified it. The headline number is the strictest of the seven, never an average, because the tightest rule is the one that governs you.
We keep a history of what a city's rules said before and when they changed, so a score that moves is traceable to the rule that moved it.
- Highly permissive
- 90+
- Friendly
- 70–89
- Moderate
- 45–69
- Heavily restricted
- 20–44
- Effectively banned

Not legal advice
STRVE is a research tool, not financial or legal advice. Always verify regulation, tax, and permitting details with the local jurisdiction and a licensed professional before you buy.
The STRVE Score and the seven-level breakdown are our own rating framework, not an official or government rating, and no jurisdiction endorses or reviews them. The rules behind them are researched from public sources with AI assistance and are current only as of the verification date shown, so they can be incomplete, outdated, or wrong. None of it substitutes for advice from local counsel. Confirm every permit, tax, occupancy, and zoning requirement against the jurisdiction's own municipal code and with an attorney licensed in that jurisdiction before you buy, list, or operate.
