Short-term rentals (STRs), locally referred to as "transient dwellings," are legal in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, but are subject to specific regulations determined by municipal zoning ordinances. STRs are primarily found in urban areas, particularly in the City of Lancaster, where they cater to both tourists and business travelers, leveraging the city's rich cultural heritage and the proximity to Amish Country and other attractions. Cabins in rural settings and urban apartments serve as popular rental options, especially as the area sees consistent demand from visitors seeking unique experiences. The City’s Zoning Ordinance allows STRs in designated districts, requiring property owners to register their units and comply with local regulations, including inspections and parking requirements. The City of Lancaster, under the oversight of the Zoning Officer, is responsible for enforcing these regulations. For further details, visit the official website of the City of Lancaster here.
