Beacon

The City of Beacon permits short-term rentals only in the owner's primary residence for a maximum of 100 nights per year. All hosts must obtain an annual permit, pass a safety inspection, and collect a 5% local lodging tax.

To host an Airbnb in Beacon, you must live in the house you are renting for more than half the year. You are limited to renting the space out for 100 nights per year total. You need to apply for a permit with the City Clerk, pay a $150 fee, and have your home inspected for fire safety. Once you start hosting, you must personally remit the 5% city tax every quarter, as Airbnb does not always handle this for you in Beacon.
