Challenging to Investors
Darby Regulations
Upper Darby permits STRs but subjects them to the township’s rental‑property licensing regime, requiring a rental license, a business privilege license via eCollect, and a mandatory safety/compliance inspection with an extensive checklist. No explicit caps exist, but the municipal permit/inspection burden, state hotel license for >15 rental days, and 6% sales tax plus local hotel tax increase cost/complexity, making compliance moderate to high and reducing investor friendliness.
