Short-Term Rentals
What is a Short-Term Rental (STR)
An STR is defined as all lodging places and tourist cabins and cottages, other than hotels and motels, in which sleeping accommodations are offered for payment to tourists or transient occupants. It does not include private boarding or rooming houses not accommodating tourists or transients, or bed and breakfast establishments.
In general, STR establishments are vacation homes, cabins, and cottages that are rented out to tourists and transients for a short period of time (under 60 days per individual renter).
Under a STR license, an operator may rent as many as four units (e.g., rooms, cottages, cabins). You will need a hotel license if you rent five or more units.
