Short-term rentals, locally referred to as "tourist homes," are legal in Rappahannock County, Virginia, provided they adhere to specific regulations set forth by local authorities. The county imposes a 4% transient occupancy tax on rentals of any room that is leased for fewer than 30 consecutive days. This tax applies to various accommodations, including cabins and homes in the rural areas, which are particularly popular with tourists seeking a rustic experience near the scenic beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Although the area attracts both tourists and some business travelers, it mainly caters to tourists, often seeking outdoor activities and tranquility away from urban centers. Property owners looking to operate short-term rentals must register with the Commissioner of the Revenue and may need a Special Use Permit, depending on specific zoning laws. The overall market environment is growing, especially with an increased interest in unique stays such as cabins and homes, which capitalize on the area's natural attractions. The Rappahannock County Planning Commission oversees these regulations to ensure compliance and management of the short-term rental business landscape.
