Common questions about STR investing in Park City
What are the STR regulations in Park City?
Park City requires a business license for short-term rentals and compliance with zoning regulations that vary by district. Nightly rentals (under 30 days) are restricted in many single-family residential zones but permitted in resort, commercial, and multi-family areas. Properties must meet safety requirements and operators must collect the combined 12.6% transient room tax. Summit County areas outside city limits may have different regulations.
What ROI can investors expect from Park City short-term rentals?
Park City STRs command premium rates with ski-in/ski-out properties earning $400-1,200+ per night during ski season. Sundance Film Festival week (late January) can generate $1,000-3,000+ nightly. Annual revenues of $80,000-180,000+ are achievable for well-positioned properties. High property prices often limit cash-on-cash returns to 5-9%, but appreciation potential and personal use offset this for many investors.
What are the best areas to invest in Park City STRs?
Properties near Park City Mountain Resort's base area offer excellent ski access and town walkability. Deer Valley Resort commands ultra-premium rates for its upscale clientele. The Canyons Village area provides newer construction and resort amenities. Old Town/Main Street locations attract Sundance visitors and year-round tourists. Jeremy Ranch and Pinebrook offer more affordable entry points with Summit County accessibility.
How does Sundance Film Festival affect Park City STR income?
Sundance Film Festival (late January) is Park City's most lucrative rental period, with rates often 4-8x normal ski season rates. Properties near Main Street and transportation hubs command the highest premiums. Many owners generate 15-25% of their annual revenue during the 10-day festival. Sundance bookings often occur 6-12 months in advance, allowing owners to lock in premium rates early.
What should investors know about Park City's summer season?
Park City's summer season has grown significantly, with mountain biking, hiking, golf, and events driving 55-70% occupancy May through October. The Kimball Arts Festival, Tour of Utah, and Park City Food & Wine Classic attract visitors. Summer rates are typically 40-60% of winter rates but operating costs are lower. Year-round properties often achieve 65-75% annual occupancy when marketed for both seasons.
