Chapel Hill to Regulate Short-Term Rentals, Airbnbs in Community
Short-Term Rentals, like those of Airbnb, have come under scrutiny by Town of Chapel Hill officials as the current, local market is left mostly unregulated.
Short-Term Rentals, or STRs, is the label for renting all or part of a residential dwelling for less than 30 days. The number of STRs has grown in recent years with the support of websites such as Airbnb, VRBO and Homeaway.
In 2019, Chapel Hill made up nearly 81 percent of the Short-Term Rentals market in Orange County.
In March of 2020, there were 334 active STRs in Chapel Hill, however, according to a website from the town, a majority of these rentals are currently unregulated and have not gone through the town’s permitting process to ensure health and safety standards are met.
