Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Pecks Pond, PA

Short-term rentals are allowed subject to township registration and compliance: owners must register each STR, declare number of bedrooms and maximum occupants, provide on-site parking entirely within the lot, and provide a copy of rental agreement/advertising. If the owner does not reside within 30 minutes of the property they must designate a local agent; the building official must certify the dwelling is in compliance with township requirements. A permit is required before you can host. These rules apply to all short-term rental platforms (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, etc.) — not just Airbnb specifically.
