In Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, short-term rentals (often referred to as STRs) are subject to specific regulations that permit property owners to offer their homes for short stays, typically defined as rentals for less than 30 consecutive days. These rentals must comply with local zoning laws, primarily rented in designated residential or commercial areas, meaning that properties like cabins in rural settings and apartments in urban areas can be particularly successful. The business landscape here increasingly caters to tourists, especially during the summer and fall seasons when outdoor recreation is popular, along with occasional business travelers. Operators of short-term rentals are required to obtain a vacation rental license from the New Hampshire Department of Business and Professional Regulation as well as a business license from Hillsborough County. The county's zoning and land development regulations are overseen by the Hillsborough County Land Development Office, which ensures properties are compliant with local laws.
