Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Rustburg, VA

Airbnb listings are allowed in Rustburg, VA, but with restrictions. Campbell County regulates short-term rentals through its zoning and special-use-permit process; county materials identify STR definitions including owner-occupied ("personal residence") STRs and list allowable zoning districts (examples cited: R-MF, B-LC, B-GC). Specific operational conditions (occupancy/guest caps, limits on nights, host-presence) are not universally codified but may be imposed as conditions of a Special Use Permit. 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.
