Raleigh

Short-term rentals are permitted in Raleigh subject to a zoning permit and strict bedroom limitations. Hosts are restricted to renting a maximum of two bedrooms per property, with a total guest limit of two adults per bedroom.

To host an Airbnb in Raleigh, you must first get a zoning permit from the city's Planning and Development department. You are limited to renting out no more than two bedrooms in your home, and you cannot host more than two adults per bedroom. You must also register for a Wake County tax account, although platforms like Airbnb usually collect the 6% tax for you. Don't forget that you must notify your immediate neighbors in writing once your permit is approved.
