Challenging to Investors
Short‑term rentals are allowed but require a permit, business license, safety inspection, local contact, and monthly reporting with a 4% transient room tax, plus registration and compliance obligations; they are also limited to specific zones and subject to operational rules and penalties, creating a moderate but notable compliance burden.
