Challenging to Investors
Bristol Regulations
STRs appear permitted but South Bristol lacks a published local ordinance, so investors must navigate unknown local caps/fees/occupancy rules and verify separate municipal licensing while meeting state registration, safety inspections, and a 9% lodging tax—adding uncertainty and compliance steps that dampen investor appetite.

About Bristol
Bristol, known from 1632 to 1765 as Pemaquid (; today a village within the town) is a town in Lincoln County, Maine, United States. The population was 2,834 at the 2020 census. A fishing and resort area, Bristol includes the villages of New Harbor, Pemaquid, Round Pond, Bristol Mills and Chamberlain. It includes the Pemaquid Archeological Site, a U.S. National Historic Landmark. During the 17th and early 18th century, New France defined the Kennebec River as the southern boundary of Acadia, which put Bristol within Acadia.
