Challenging to Investors
Waterville Regulations
STRs are allowed but subject to a prohibited zone (Residential‑A), annual licensing under Zoning Ordinance Sec. 4.3.33 with safety inspections, and state lodging‑tax and income‑tax obligations; enforcement is an active priority and compliance is reportedly low, creating meaningful regulatory uncertainty and compliance burden for investors.
