Short-term rentals (STRs), often referred to locally as "vacation rentals," are regulated in Logan County, West Virginia, where they are legal under specific zoning and permit requirements established by the local government. The local authority responsible for these regulations is the Logan City Council, which recently passed Ordinance 54 to clarify the framework for STR operations. This legislation encourages the rental of properties, mainly cabins and rural homes, taking advantage of the area's scenic landscapes and outdoor activities that appeal to tourists. The market primarily caters to tourists, particularly during peak seasons, while also accommodating occasional business travelers due to local events and activities. The recent regulatory changes aim to balance the interests of residents who may have concerns regarding the influx of short-term guests with the economic benefits that STRs bring to the community.
