Great Barrington Regulations
STRs are explicitly allowed with a relatively straightforward registration, an annual fee (~200) and clear rules, but investors face moderate constraints including a 150-day cap for non‑owner‑occupied units, prohibitions on corporate ownership and a one‑property limit, and inspections. Active enforcement and paperwork add compliance overhead but are not prohibitive, making the market investor‑friendly but not unrestricted.
