New Haven Regulations
New Haven uses a permissive zoning model and has no citywide ban; STRs are allowed without a dedicated cap or restrictive ordinance, and single-family STRs are exempt from licensing. The Residential Rental Business License—required only for 2–3 unit non‑owner‑occupied and 4+ unit properties—has moderate fees and a straightforward online portal with standard inspections. State room‑occupancy tax and routine housing code compliance apply, but the process is clear and predictable, supporting investment.
