Short-term rentals (STRs) in Washington County, Maine, are generally permitted but subject to local regulations set by municipalities. Local terms for these rentals include “Airbnb” and “vacation rentals.” While properties like cabins in rural areas and homes along the scenic coastline tend to thrive, urban settings do house some apartments as well. The business landscape is primarily geared toward tourism, drawing visitors to explore picturesque locations such as Acadia National Park and coastal towns. The influx of travelers for recreational purposes significantly impacts the market, although some business travelers also seek accommodations. Municipal authorities are responsible for overseeing these regulations, ensuring compliance with zoning laws, and enforcing taxation protocols, including a mandatory 9% sales tax on short-term rental transactions.
