West Chester Regulations
West Chester explicitly allows short‑term rentals citywide with affordable annual permits and clear processes, but imposes tight caps (20 total, 500‑ft spacing), narrow eligible zones (primarily TC‑Town Center), conditional‑use approvals, insurance ($1M), parking requirements and property‑type restrictions—all of which materially limit scale and raise execution risk for investors.
