In Allegany County, Maryland, short-term rentals (STRs) are emerging as a regulated business option but have faced limited formal legislation until recently. The local term for these rentals is often categorized under vacation rentals, with properties like cabins in rural areas and apartments in urban settings being popular. Currently, the City of Cumberland, which is a key area within the county, is actively working on a code to regulate these rentals as they have grown in number, treated similar to hotel accommodations. The proposed regulations will require STR operators to obtain a license, pay associated taxes, and ensure their properties comply with zoning ordinances. The market primarily caters to tourists seeking experiences in the natural beauty of Allegany County, particularly near outdoor recreation spots, though some properties also attract business travelers. The Allegany County government, particularly through the City of Cumberland’s Code Compliance Office, is responsible for overseeing these regulations.
