When deciding whether to become an Airbnb host, it is important for you to understand the laws in your region or city. As a platform and online marketplace we do not provide legal advice, but we want to provide resources that may help you better understand applicable laws and regulations. This list is not exhaustive, but it may give you a good start in understanding your local laws. If you have questions, visit the short-term rental homepage or other government agencies directly, or consult a local lawyer or tax professional.
Hosts are required to apply for a short-term rental permit with the City Planning and Zoning Board.
Hosts need to submit an application, including a site plan prepared by a licensed engineer or land surveyor, and pay the required fees. More information can be found in the Town of Highland Code.
Once approved, you’ll need to display your STR registration number on your listing(s)
Hosts must pay an initial fee of $1,000. Additional inspections require a fee of $100 per inspection. There is also an annual fee of $500.
It's also important to understand and abide by other contracts or rules that bind you, such as leases, condo board or co-op rules, HOA rules, or rules established by tenant organizations. Please read your lease agreement and check with your landlord if applicable.
We are committed to working with local officials to clarify how local rules impact the community. We will continue to advocate for changes that will enable people to rent out their homes.
