Challenging to Investors
Columbia's STR rules are challenging for investors due to strict geographic limits (only commercial CD-4/CD-4C/CD-5 zones) and required permitting with safety inspections, excluding most residential areas. While grandfathering provides continuity and the 2025 removal of owner-occupancy rules is favorable, the constrained permitted districts and unclear compliance costs create significant location constraints and operational hurdles that deter broad investment.
