Zoning & Conditions

State law (HEA/HB 1035, 2018) states that short-term rental of an owner's primary residence is a permitted residential use and may not be disallowed by a local ordinance; for properties that are not the owner's primary residence, a local unit of government may require a special exception, special use, or zoning variance or other permit as allowed by local law. Perry County's 2015 Comprehensive Plan specifically recommends creating vacation/rental provisions (Appendix H sample ordinance) but the county has not published an enacted STR ordinance or permit process on its official sites.
