Franklin County

Unincorporated Franklin County does not have a dedicated short-term rental ordinance or registration program. Hosts are primarily regulated through the Tax Collector's office and must pay a 2% Tourist Development Tax on all stays of 6 months or less.

To host an Airbnb in unincorporated Franklin County, you don't need a specific short-term rental permit from the county planning department. However, you must register for a Tourist Development Tax (TDT) account with the Franklin County Tax Collector. While platforms like Airbnb usually collect and pay the 2% local tax for you, you are still required to register your property and file monthly reports, even if you had zero bookings.
