SHORT-TERM TENANT ACCESS

Starting in 2025, owners of short-term rental (STR) properties registered with both the Town of Truckee and Tahoe Donner have the option to participate in a program that provides access to private amenities. Here are the key details:

  • Eligibility: STR property owners who are registered with both the Town of Truckee and Tahoe Donner Compliance Office.
  • Short-Term Tenant Cards: Owners can receive up to six transferrable short-term tenant cards per property annually. These cards grant access to private amenities for short-term tenants.
  • Annual Administration Fee: A fee of $75 is required for verification and activation of the short-term tenant cards (this is a flat fee, not a per-card charge).
  • Access to Private Amenities: Each short-term tenant card provides access to one individual (ages 3+) per day to private amenities; a Daily Access Fee is required for entry.
  • Access Limitations: During peak periods, access to private amenities may be restricted or subject to availability.
  • Access to Public Amenities: Short-term tenants do not qualify for personal guest discounts and are considered public when participating in public amenity offerings.

This program allows Short-Term Rental property owners to offer their short-term tenants access to Tahoe Donner’s private amenities while maintaining certain access controls.

The use of short-term tenant cards will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2025. The grace period allowing for the transitional use of transferable guest cards will end on Jan. 31, 2025, after which time the cards will be deactivated and sunset.Cards presented thereafter at amenities will be collected by staff and removed from circulation.

The short-term tenant card program is optional, and short-term rental (STR) property owners are not required to provide them for their renters.
