Do You Actually Need a Permit to List on Airbnb?

A lot of first-time hosts skip this step. Here's what to check before your listing goes live. 


Most first-time hosts find out about STR permits the wrong way. 

Not from a blog. Not from a checklist. From a neighbor's complaint, a city notice, or a warning from Airbnb that shows up right when they were expecting their first booking. 

A host finishing renovations recently came in thinking she was a few weeks from going live. She had her photos planned, her pricing figured out, her first guests practically picked out in her head. She had never heard of an STR permit until that meeting. She wasn't careless. Nobody told her. 

That gap is more common than most people realize.
