In Warren County, Kentucky, short-term rentals (STRs) are permitted under specific regulations established by the City County Planning Commission. Locally referred to as STRs, these rentals thrive primarily in commercial zones, including cabins and vacation homes in rural areas, as well as apartments in urban settings, particularly near Bowling Green. The market generally caters to both tourists, due to attractions such as Western Kentucky University and local events, and business travelers seeking temporary accommodations. STRs are not allowed in single-family residential (RS) zones but can operate in agricultural and commercial zones with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The regulations aim to balance the benefits of STRs, like economic contributions and increased tourism, against potential negative impacts on neighborhood character and housing markets. The City County Planning Commission is responsible for overseeing these regulations, which also include requirements for licenses and compliance with local safety standards.
