Empty downtown Salt Lake City street with Wasatch, no people

Most Salt Lake City listings still get sold as a generic mountain city stay, or worse, as a blended Park City ski year. Guests who typed Salt Lake City are looking for downtown, Sugar House, and a real city night. They are not looking for a ski caption. 1,800 active listings sit on this city extract. Write the stay you can actually host.

The three strongest city months are March, May, and February. March is the busiest. July is the slowest. Occupancy is weakest in July. Most guests arrive from Salt Lake City, then New York. Stay is 6.6 nights, booked about 42 days ahead. Call Salt Lake City Business Licensing at 801-535-7980. City Hall, 451 South State Street. The city's STR page requires a business license before advertising. A licensee may hold only one STR business license. Each license is one property and one dwelling unit. Stays must be at least two consecutive nights and no more than 200 nights per calendar year. Tribune reporting Aug 6, 2026 lists $198 plus $342 per unit. Confirm 2026 on the consolidated fee schedule. Licensing took effect July 1, 2026. AirROI's low-regulation label is a scrape of listings, not the town file.

Frequently Asked Questions

What did typical Salt Lake City listings earn last year?

Typical Salt Lake City listings earned about $22,593 last year across 1,800 active rentals, per AirROI's trailing twelve months from August 2025 through July 2026. The average night was $177 and occupancy ran 46.5 percent, with revenue per available night at $83. Year over year the number is down 4.1 percent even as active supply grew 15.8 percent. Keep South Salt Lake and Park City on their own lines rather than folding them in.

When is Salt Lake City's strongest month?

March is the busiest revenue month, with May and February the other two strong months. July is the slowest month and the weakest for occupancy too. That seasonal pattern belongs to the city proper — a South Salt Lake or Park City calendar reads differently, so don't caption this city's peak with a neighbor's numbers.

Do I need a Salt Lake City STR permit in 2026?

Yes. Salt Lake City Business Licensing, based at City Hall, 451 South State Street, requires a business license before you advertise. A licensee may hold only one STR business license, covering one property and one dwelling unit, and stays must run at least two consecutive nights and no more than 200 nights per calendar year. Call 801-535-7980 and confirm current terms before listing — a low-regulation label on a data scrape is not the same as the town's own file.

Is a 30-night minimum the same as occupancy?

No. About 598 listings, 33.2 percent of the city's 1,800 active rentals, already set a 30-night minimum, but that's a platform filter, not an occupancy figure. Typical stay length across the full sample is still 6.6 nights, booked about 42 days ahead, and July remains the slow month regardless of how many listings use that filter.

Should I hire a manager in Salt Lake City?

That depends on the property, but context helps: professionally managed listings hold about 12.4 percent share in Salt Lake City, and GrandRoad manages roughly 75 listings on this extract. South Salt Lake and Park City reward different copy and different guest expectations, so don't build one management pitch to cover all three.

Who books a Salt Lake City stay?

Most guests arrive from Salt Lake City itself, followed by New York. Typical stay is 6.6 nights with about a 42-day booking lead. Urban guests here are drawn to downtown and Sugar House specifically — South Salt Lake and Park City each pull a different kind of trip, so keep the guest intent separate by town.

Is Park City the same market as Salt Lake City?

No. Salt Lake City's number is $177 average night on 1,800 listings and $22,593 typical annual revenue; Park City is a separate ski-town market with its own AirROI extract that this data set doesn't cover. Don't blend a Park City year into a Salt Lake City figure or the reverse.

What does the Salt Lake City STR license cost?

Tribune reporting from August 6, 2026 lists the license fee at $198 plus $342 per unit, though hosts should confirm the current number on the city's consolidated fee schedule before applying, since licensing took effect July 1, 2026 and terms can shift. Call Business Licensing at 801-535-7980 for the current figure.

What should a buyer packet cite for Salt Lake City?

A buyer packet should cite the $22,593 typical revenue on 1,800 city listings, the plus-15.8-percent supply growth against a minus-4.1-percent year-over-year change, and the Business Licensing contact at 801-535-7980. Keep Park City and South Salt Lake labeled separately rather than blended into the Salt Lake City figure.

Work with Crest & Cove Creative

If a packet still files Sugar House and a Park City ski year as one extract, send the addresses. We will split the map.
