Seattle licensing

A licensed home within the operator limit

Seattle allows licensed short-term stays in a primary home and an eligible non-primary dwelling, subject to its ordinary operator limit. Operating two units requires one to be your primary residence; confirm the home’s zoning and safety requirements before proceeding.

Both city licensesOperators need a Seattle business license tax certificate and an STR regulatory license. The STR license costs $75 per unit and renews annually.
Two units, with a primary homeThe ordinary limit is two owned dwelling units, with one used as the operator’s primary residence if both are rented. Limited legacy exceptions require individual verification with the City.
Register a dedicated rentalA dedicated non-primary STR must register with and comply with the Rental Registration and Inspection Ordinance program.
Check the dwelling and land useThe home must meet building, safety and land-use requirements. Seattle prohibits STRs in non-dwelling spaces, live-work units and certain shoreline locations.
License number on each listingEvery advertised listing must show the operator license in the City’s STR-OPLI-##-###### format.
Confirm lodging taxesWashington requires sales tax on short-term lodging income. Convention and trade center tax also applies to transient lodging in King County.

Sources: City of Seattle STR licensing; Washington lodging guidance; lodging taxes, checked October 2026. Check the official requirements before you apply.

Why we price your home, not the market

A Seattle address starts the discussion: which dwelling is being offered, which licenses apply, and how it fits the operator limit?

For a home eligible for short-term stays, we examine comparable properties by hand and consider its amenities alongside the convention and festival calendar.

The estimate call connects that research to the listing, pricing and practical care of your home, with room to review the assumptions together.

Questions

Seattle owners usually ask

What does One Fine BnB charge in Seattle?

Partner 10% (owner has their own cleaning and maintenance team). Full Service from 20%, one-time $500 onboarding retainer. Management fees apply to rental revenue, never guest-paid cleaning fees, taxes or deposits.

Who pays for cleaning between stays?

Guests do, through the cleaning fee on the booking, so turnovers cost you nothing.

How does the estimate work?

Send the address and the number of bedrooms. We look up your home, check real comparable homes by hand and account for your amenities. Then we schedule a call to go over the results with you.

Can a Seattle rental be a home I do not live in?

Seattle’s ordinary operator limit allows a non-primary dwelling. If you operate two units, one must be your primary residence; check the address and licensing requirements with the City before offering stays.

Does a dedicated Seattle short-term rental need RRIO registration?

Yes. A dedicated unit that is neither your primary residence nor part of it must register with and comply with Seattle’s Rental Registration and Inspection Ordinance program.
