Any Incline Village rental under 28 days needs a Washoe County permit. Each home gets a guest cap, based on 2 guests per legal bedroom and cut by parking or fire safety. Parking is 1 space for every 4 guests. Quiet hours run 10 PM to 7 AM. Three proven violations in a year end the permit.

What happens if guests break the rules

A noisy party or a trash problem can start a case. It counts as a violation after the owner's appeal ends. Two noise violations in 12 months mean the owner must add a noise monitor. Three violations in one year end the permit. After that, the owner cannot get a new permit for a year.

Running a rental with no permit is worse. The county calls it a public nuisance and a misdemeanor. It can order the rental to stop. Fines follow the county's enforcement code.

When the house is sold

A new owner needs a new permit. The old one does not carry over. New rentals in a separate guest unit are not allowed in the Tahoe area.

How to get a permit

  1. Make an account on the county's OneNV portal and pick the short-term rentals tab.
  2. Upload the documents and pay the fee.
  3. Pass the home inspection for life safety. In high fire areas the fire district also checks the yard.
  4. Renew every year. A 30 day grace period follows the renewal date.

Beaches

A permit does not come with IVGID beach access. Guests get access only if the owner assigns the privileges. See IVGID explained.

Guests

Staying in a rental? Sand Harbor and the walk-in beaches are open to everyone. See where to stay for hotels.

Questions people ask

Are short-term rentals allowed in Incline Village?
Yes, with a Washoe County permit. A rental under 28 consecutive days is a short-term rental. Renting without a permit is a misdemeanor and draws a stop activity order.
Do I need a permit to rent my Incline Village home short term?
Yes. Apply through the county's OneNV portal. You also need proof of ownership, a site plan, a floor plan, insurance and a home inspection.
How many guests can stay in an Incline Village rental?
The county sets a cap for each home. The base is 2 guests per legal bedroom, plus 1 for each 200 square feet of the rest of the home. Parking or fire safety can lower it. Children count.
What is the 7 day rule for short-term rentals?
We found no 7 day rule in the county code. The line is 28 days. A stay of 28 days or more is not a short-term rental.
