Challenging to Investors
STRs are technically allowed but lack a dedicated town ordinance, forcing operators to navigate the Shoreland Zoning Ordinance, Planning Board approvals, and a New Business Permit with public hearings, abutters’ notices, signage and setback limits, and state safety/wastewater rules. In most shoreline districts, principal STRs are not permitted by‑right and require special approvals; strict setbacks, lot‑coverage limits, and potential environmental permits add cost/complexity. While no hard caps exist, the permitting burden and limited “by‑right” allowances create meaningful investor risk.
