Short-term rentals (STRs), known locally as "transient accommodations," are legal in Decatur County, Georgia, particularly within the City of Decatur. Although no comprehensive regulations have been implemented as of now, there are considerations for future policy development regarding these rentals. STRs tend to thrive in urban settings, such as residential units and apartments, catering significantly to tourists visiting the area for its festivals, parks, and vibrant community. The business environment is mainly driven by tourism, though it also supports some business travelers requiring short-term housing. The Decatur City Commission and the City Planning Department oversee regulations and are currently reviewing guidelines for STRs.
