Score: 81 (lenient)
If you want to rent your home for less than 28 days at a time, you must register with the Township and pay an annual fee. You are required to pass a fire safety inspection, and you cannot use Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) for short-term rentals. Hosts must typically maintain the property as their primary residence or live on-site to comply with local character regulations.
