What short-term rental rules matter for temporary plans? (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill)
DIRECT ANSWER
Source guidance recorded on 2026-08-29. Confirm the applicable policy year, cohort and property jurisdiction before relying on time-sensitive facts.
Chapel Hill defines STR as compensated rental for less than 30 days. A primary-residence STR requires the operator to live on site at least 183 days/year and is permitted in almost all zoning districts; a dedicated STR is limited to commercial and mixed-use zoning districts. A Zoning Compliance/STR permit is required when a home is rented more than 14 days/year, and the assigned permit number must appear in advertising.
