Short-term rentals (STRs) in Washington County, Virginia, are regulated under the term "transient lodging." According to local regulations, these rentals are legal but must adhere to specific guidelines, including registration with the Washington County Zoning Department and obtaining a special permit if necessary. Typically, STRs like cabins in rural settings and houses attract more visitors, especially during peak tourist seasons due to the area's scenic views and outdoor activities, appealing to travelers looking for recreational stays. The region's business climate is predominantly driven by tourism, with many visitors drawn to local attractions such as the Virginia Creeper Trail and events in nearby towns like Abingdon. The Washington County Department of Zoning Administration, which manages these rules, is the key government authority overseeing the STRs' compliance with zoning laws. For detailed information on the zoning and regulations pertaining to short-term rentals, you can refer to the official Washington County website.
