Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Morrisville, NC

Airbnb listings are allowed in Morrisville, NC, but with restrictions. Visitor-accommodation uses (e.g., Bed and Breakfast, Hotel/Motel) are allowed only in specific zoning districts as designated in the Morrisville UDO Principal Use Table. These uses are subject to site-plan approvals and zoning-specific constraints; however, the Town Code does not currently specify owner-occupancy, guest caps, or minimum-night stay rules for general residential rentals. 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.
