Short-term rentals (STRs), referred to as "short-term residential rentals" in Clarke County, Virginia, are legal but subject to specific local regulations. The proposed zoning amendments aim to establish rules primarily for properties in the Agricultural-Open Space-Conservation and Forestal-Open Space-Conservation districts. Regulations include a cap of ten occupants in a dwelling, which encompasses both renters and permanent residents, and a limit of five bedrooms for rental use. Properties must comply with building and health codes, including demonstrating adequate sewage disposal capacity. The market in Clarke County consists largely of scenic rural properties such as cabins and homes, appealing primarily to tourists seeking leisure experiences rather than business travelers. The Clarke County Board of Supervisors oversees the regulations, and prospective STR operators must navigate various local zoning laws to ensure compliance.
