Short-term rentals (STRs) in Tippecanoe County, Indiana, are primarily referred to as transient guest houses. However, following recent regulations by the Tippecanoe Area Plan Commission, STRs, particularly in single-family residential zones, have been largely restricted or banned in both Lafayette and West Lafayette. This ordinance stipulates that only certain types of properties, such as those designated as transient guest houses, may operate in approved areas. As a result, traditional rentals on platforms like Airbnb or Vrbo are now targeted towards multi-family housing or properties in commercial zones, potentially limiting rural cabins and single-family homes from participating in the STR market. The area's hospitality sector mainly caters to business travelers due to the presence of Purdue University and various corporate offices, but there is also significant seasonal tourist traffic, particularly during university events and local festivals. The county's zoning and STR regulations are overseen by local governmental authorities, specifically the Tippecanoe Area Plan Commission, which handles applications and permits.
