Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Jacksboro, TN

Airbnbs are effectively legal in Jacksboro, TN because there are no specific short-term rental regulations on the books. No specific local STR ordinance or permitting process is published in the Jacksboro municipal code; land use is governed by a separate Zoning Ordinance on record at the Town Recorder’s office. Per Tennessee state law (T.C.A. § 13-7-601), existing STRs may be protected by a legacy clause, while the Department of Revenue requires state and local sales tax registration for rentals under 90 days. 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.
