Matthews Regulations

STRs are explicitly allowed with a straightforward $250 permit, but whole‑house rentals are prohibited in most single‑family zones and limited to multifamily/mixed‑use, and the 800‑ft separation requirement effectively imposes a strict cap. Strict enforcement (permit revocation after two violations) and operational limits (no cooking in bedrooms, 2 guests/bedroom, no events/signage) further constrain operations and raise investor risk.
