Short-term rentals

In March 2025, Kamas City paused new short-term rentals in homes and residential areas while it worked on a long-term policy. Nearby towns and unincorporated areas follow their own rules, and in June 2026, Summit County's draft list of neighborhoods for possible nightly rental limits included Samak and parts of Woodland. If rental income is part of your plan, we'll check where things stand before you make an offer.
