Candler Regulations

STRs are explicitly permitted in most Buncombe County districts with a straightforward STR permit, basic occupancy/parking standards, and reasonable tax obligations; however, operational limits (9,000 sf cap, 2 adults/bedroom, 1 bath per 4 guest rooms, 1 space per 2 rooms) and special‑use requirements for larger or multi‑unit properties introduce moderate compliance complexity and risk.
