In Anderson County, Kentucky, short-term rentals (STRs), often referred to locally as vacation rentals, are subject to specific regulations under the Anderson County Zoning Ordinance. These rentals are legal but must comply with local zoning requirements and obtain a conditional use permit from the Anderson County Planning & Zoning Department. While various property types can succeed in this market, cabins in rural settings and residential homes near tourist attractions are particularly popular due to the area's natural scenery and recreational opportunities. The business landscape is influenced primarily by tourists visiting historical sites and enjoying outdoor activities, though some provisions are made for business travelers attending local events. The primary regulatory body overseeing these rentals is the Anderson County Fiscal Court, which manages zoning and permit requirements.
