In the Town and County of Nantucket, Massachusetts, short-term rentals (STRs) are subject to specific local regulations, although their legal status has faced recent challenges. Officially termed "short-term rentals," these properties are defined as rentals lasting 31 days or less. As of now, operators must register their STRs with both the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the town, complying with local regulations that emerged from a 2022 authorization. The area primarily serves tourists, catering to vacationers seeking diverse accommodations such as historic homes, beach cottages, and apartments, particularly in picturesque downtown Nantucket. Despite its tourism-driven market, there is a noted tension surrounding STR regulations; a recent vote in 2024 saw proposals for broader STR acceptance rejected, highlighting ongoing community debate. The Nantucket Board of Health is the principal authority overseeing these regulations, which include a local excise tax on rentals. For more details, visit the official website:.
