Varnville, SC

Varnville Regulations

STRs are not a standalone use; legality depends on squeezing into Bed & Breakfast (≤9 rooms, meal service, owner-occupied) or Boarding/Lodging/Rooming House (rooms without cooking, accessory to single‑family). Typical non‑owner‑occupied Airbnbs require a similarity‑of‑use determination or rezoning through the Planning Commission/Board of Zoning Appeals, with multiple approvals (zoning compliance, possible conditional use/special exception, variances), plan submittals, meetings, public notice, inspections, and ongoing compliance with dimensional/site standards. While not prohibited, the process is strict, uncertain, and operationally constrained, creating meaningful barriers for investors.
