Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Vienna, VA

Airbnbs are effectively legal in Vienna, VA because there are no specific short-term rental regulations on the books. No town-level STR zoning or permit conditions (such as zoning districts, primary-residence requirements, or occupancy limits) are stated on official Town of Vienna pages. General business licensing requirements (Town Code Sec. 8-3) apply to all businesses, but no STR-specific language was found. 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.
