Durham

Short-term rentals in Durham are restricted to owner-occupied primary residences where the host must remain on-site overnight during all guest stays.

You can only operate a short-term rental in Durham if the property is your primary home and you are physically present overnight while guests are there. You must obtain a permit from the town and pass a safety inspection; if your home is in a residential zone, you will likely need a 'Special Exception' from the Zoning Board of Adjustment first.
