Challenging to Investors
Sunbury Regulations
No dedicated STR ordinance exists; short‑term lodging is not permitted by default in residential zones and requires explicit zoning permission or a costly/variable variance. Operators must obtain state lodging‑code compliance, register for and remit state/county hotel taxes, and secure insurance, creating a burdensome and uncertain process that likely deters many investors.
