Short-term rentals (STRs) in Robertson County, Kentucky, are regulated and require compliance with various local laws. These rentals are often referred to as "vacation rentals" and must adhere to permit and licensing requirements specific to the region. STRs are legal, but operators must pay an occupancy tax of 7% on their monthly gross, which is remitted monthly to local authorities. Properties that tend to thrive in this market include rural cabins, small homes, and sometimes apartments, catering mainly to tourism motivated by the area's natural beauty and recreational opportunities. The market tends to lean towards attracting tourists rather than business travelers, with a focus on vacation-seeking visitors. Local government oversight for these rentals falls under the jurisdiction of the Robertson County Clerk's Office, which manages the relevant permits and tax collections.
