STRs are explicitly permitted across most zoning districts with a straightforward annual registration ($50 fee, $500 late penalty) and a required management plan with local contact. Occupancy, signage and parking limits are moderate and there are no hard caps on STR units; enforcement is predictable with a clear violation threshold.
