Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Farmington, PA

Airbnb listings are allowed in Farmington, PA, but with restrictions. Wharton Township’s zoning ordinance permits lodging uses (hotels, motels, boarding, and lodging houses) in the B-1 Commercial Business District. Recreational or resort uses that include overnight lodging are allowed on large contiguous parcels, but there are no explicit residency requirements, occupancy caps, or platform rules for standard residential short-term 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.
