Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Fayette County, IN

Airbnbs are effectively legal in Fayette County, IN because there are no specific short-term rental regulations on the books. No dedicated short-term-rental ordinance, permit, or registration program was found on Connersville or Fayette County official pages. The City’s 2022 Comprehensive Plan recommends developing a short-term rental/transient-housing policy and a registration program; meanwhile the Fayette County/Connersville Area Zoning Code (Chapter 153) remains the governing land-use code and contains general permit and special-exception procedures that would apply to land-use matters but does not expressly authorize or prohibit STRs in a specific STR section. Operators should still verify HOA rules, state-level requirements, and any tax-collection obligations. See the official source linked on this page for full requirements. Last verified 2026-05-14.
