To host an Airbnb in Ogunquit, you must first get a town license, which needs to be renewed every year. You'll need to show you have enough off-street parking for your guests and that your home meets fire safety standards, including a possible inspection. There is no limit on how many nights you can rent out your home, but you are limited to how many guests you can have—usually two people per bedroom plus two extra. You also need to make sure the state's 9% lodging tax is being paid, either by you or by the platform you use.
