Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Loris, SC

Airbnbs are effectively legal in Loris, SC because there are no specific short-term rental regulations on the books. No short-term rental (STR)/vacation-rental–specific rules, definitions, or permitting procedures were found in the City of Loris Unified Zoning Ordinance or on the City’s permitting pages. General land-use rules require that no land or building be used or converted until all applicable licenses, certificates, and permits are issued; business licenses are administered by the City Business License Clerk and building/occupancy permits are handled by Planning & Inspections. 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.
