Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Talladega, AL

Airbnb listings are allowed in Talladega, AL, but with restrictions. The City Zoning Ordinance (Ord. 1882) defines and permits lodging uses such as 'Hotel' (short-term sleeping units allowed in commercial/appropriate zones) and 'Bed and Breakfast Inn' (owner-occupied residence, no more than six guest rooms). Temporary habitation in recreational vehicles or tents is limited to 30 days within any 90-day period unless a city permit is obtained. The ordinance does not establish specific occupancy or platform rules for whole-home rentals outside these categories. These rules apply to all short-term rental platforms (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, etc.) — not just Airbnb specifically. See the official source linked on this page for full requirements.
