Vacation Rental Permit Update
San Juan County Council voted to end the Vacation Rental Moratorium and initiate strict caps on new permits on May 17, 2022.
Each Council Member chose a number at which to cap VRs on their island as follows:
- San Juan: 337 (As of 5-17-22 there are 136 active and compliant permits, 93 that are compliant but inactive, and 71 that are noncompliant)
- Orcas: 211 (207 compliant-active / 159 compliant-inactive / 90 noncompliant)
- Lopez: 135 (56 compliant-active / 38 compliant-inactive / 27 noncompliant)
- Outer Islands: 10 (2 / 7)
- TOTAL 693
What has happened between May 2022 and late 2025? Nothing!
The county has not accepted any VR applications for any islands. We have been under a full unofficial ‘moratorium’.
Local officials point to the internal problems in the DCD, and ask for patience as the issues are being resolved.
