Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Ulysses, PA

Airbnbs are effectively legal in Ulysses, PA because there are no specific short-term rental regulations on the books. No municipal zoning or STR-specific regulatory conditions (zones, occupancy limits, caps) were found on Ulysses Township or Borough official pages. However, Pennsylvania Department of Revenue requires hotel occupancy tax collection for rentals under 30 days, and Potter County Ordinance 1 of 2017 imposes a county-level Hotel Room Rental Excise Tax. 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.
