Short-term rentals (STRs) in Lafayette County, Mississippi, are now legal and regulated by the local government due to regulations enacted on September 5, 2023. Locally referred to as STRs, these rentals can be offered for short stays of less than 30 days and predominantly cater to tourists and visiting events, including those related to the University of Mississippi. Properties that thrive in this market include single-family homes and accessory dwelling units in residential neighborhoods, reflecting a strong demand from both leisure travelers and visiting professionals. The new licensing regulations require that the rental property be the operator's primary residence, with limitations on the maximum number of guests, safety inspections, and on-site parking requirements. Each STR must include the operator's license number in all advertising and maintain a local contact available for guest inquiries. The Lafayette Planning Commission oversees these regulations to address housing affordability concerns and the impact of STRs on local communities, enforcing compliance through a licensing process that begins January 1, 2024.
