To host an Airbnb in State College, you must live in the home yourself for at least 8 months out of the year. You are required to get two separate permits: one from the Borough for the STR license ($300/year) and one from the Centre Region Code Administration (CRCA) which includes a safety inspection. Your home can only be rented for a maximum of 120 nights per year, and you must provide one off-street parking space for every bedroom you rent out.
