Diane, Donald made this post back in July 2019, and since that post the Douglas County local government authority have implemented a considerable number of rule changes with regard to short term renting......just as have a lot of councils around the world!
I would not take too much notice of anything you read here on the CC if it is not current. In your situation I would approach your local Douglas County office and ask them for a list of requirements you will need to follow in order to host.....get it straight from the horses mouth Diane, don't rely on something that might have been applicable years ago.
Cheers.....Rob
