Short-term rentals (STRs) in Dorchester County, Maryland, are legal but are subject to a newly introduced registration process as of January 2024. Local STRs are commonly referred to as "vacation rentals" and apply to properties rented for periods exceeding 15 days but not exceeding 30 days. The Dorchester County Council aims to enhance safety and compliance through this registration, which obliges property owners to maintain contact information to facilitate emergency responses and enforcement of property maintenance standards. Demand for STRs is primarily driven by tourism, with many vacation rentals thriving in scenic rural settings such as cabins and waterfront properties. The rental market also caters somewhat to business travelers due to the area's unique offerings and proximity to attractions. The Planning and Zoning Department oversees the implementation and regulation of these properties, ensuring that they meet safety and regulatory standards.
