Biloxi

Short-term rentals are permitted in the City of Biloxi primarily in commercial, multi-family, and waterfront zones, while they remain prohibited in most single-family residential districts (RS zones). Hosts must obtain a Short-Term Rental permit, a business license, and pass a fire safety inspection.

To host an Airbnb in Biloxi, you must first ensure your property is in a permitted zoning district, as STRs are generally banned in quiet, single-family residential neighborhoods. If your zone allows it, you'll need to pass a fire inspection, get a city business license, and pay a $100 annual permit fee. You are required to have a local contact person available 24/7 to respond to complaints within one hour, and your total guest count is limited based on the number of bedrooms you have.
