Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Coahoma County, MS

Airbnbs are effectively legal in Coahoma County, MS because there are no specific short-term rental regulations on the books. No Coahoma County–level short-term rental ordinance or permit procedure is published on the county website or in the county zoning regulations. Note: The City of Clarksdale (inside Coahoma County) regulates 'Tourist home' and 'Bed and Breakfast Homes'—Clarksdale requires the B&B to be the owner's primary residence, limits B&Bs to a maximum of 5 rentable rooms, caps guest stays at 8 consecutive days, requires a guest register and off-street parking, and makes operation subject to a conditional use permit and inspections per city code. 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.
