Thinking about renting your place in Bozeman, Montana on Airbnb or Vrbo? Well here are the statistics on where Montana’s Airbnb money is made. However, there are new restrictions in place which make it virtually impossible for non-owner occupied units to be short term rented in Bozeman, and other places are following to include a lot of the Front Range area. Check the rules carefully, as a place outside of town maybe a better bet if you are looking to Airbnb your property.
This seems to follow the type of restrictions that Maui put into place. Maui’s short-term rental laws require owners to hold valid permits to operate. Under Bill 9, signed in December 2025, approximately 6,000 apartment-zoned rentals (the “Minatoya list”) are being phased out to address the housing crisis. These rentals must cease by Jan. 1, 2029.Rest of Maui County: These must cease by Jan. 1, 2031. Exemptions apply strictly to hotel-zoned and resort-zoned properties. Operating a legal Short-Term Rental Home (STRH) or Bed & Breakfast (B&B) requires conditional permits and must comply with strict Community Plan Region caps. Furthermore, all hosts must register for a Transient Accommodations Tax (TAT) and General Excise Tax (GET) license with the Hawaii Department of Taxation and pay these taxes directly.
