Roanoke Rapids Regulations
STRs (Tourist Homes) are explicitly allowed with a clear zoning pathway; a zoning permit is required and special/conditional use permits may be needed depending on the district, with fees and standard dimensional/parking compliance. No explicit caps are mentioned and enforcement appears routine, making this a friendly but moderately permitting-heavy environment rather than very open.
