Georgetown Regulations
Georgetown allows short‑term rentals citywide and provides a clear, step‑by‑step licensing process, but the initial $500 (non‑owner‑occupied) and $250 renewal fees, required inspections, neighbor notifications, and occupancy limits make permitting moderately burdensome. While no hard cap is currently in place, the possibility of a future cap adds risk, keeping the framework friendly but not extremely open.

About Georgetown
Georgetown is the third oldest city in the U.S. state of South Carolina and the county seat of Georgetown County, in the Lowcountry. As of the 2010 census it had a population of 9,163. Located on Winyah Bay at the confluence of the Black, Great Pee Dee, Waccamaw, and Sampit rivers, Georgetown is the second largest seaport in South Carolina, handling over 960,000 tons of materials a year, while Charleston is the largest. Beginning in the colonial era, Georgetown was the commercial center of an indigo- and rice-producing area. Rice replaced indigo as the chief commodity crop in the antebellum area. Later the timber industry became important here.
