Short-term rentals (STRs), commonly referred to as vacation rentals, are regulated on a municipal level in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, located within Lehigh County. STRs are legal in certain areas; however, specific regulations vary widely. For example, in Schnecksville's surrounding locales, like Allentown, STR operators must obtain permits, pay annual fees, and adhere strictly to local enforcement standards, while Lehigh Township restricts rentals mostly to general commercial zones. Properties that tend to succeed include those in more rural settings, like cabins and homes, catering primarily to tourists looking for nature-based getaways within the Pocono Mountains, although some areas may also attract business travelers. The occupancy tax includes a combined total of about 17%: 6% state hotel occupancy tax, 6% state sales tax, and local taxes. The local government authority responsible for regulating these rentals is the Lehigh County government, where prospective hosts need to contact specific township offices for licensing requirements and enforcement details.
