Mt. Pleasant

Short-term rentals in Mt. Pleasant are strictly regulated under Chapter 156.400, requiring both an annual permit and a business license. The town enforces a 400-permit cap for non-owner occupied properties, while owner-occupied (primary residence) permits are unlimited but require proof of the 4% tax assessment.

To host an Airbnb in Mt. Pleasant, you must first determine if you are a 'primary resident' (living there 183+ days a year) or an investor. If you're an investor, you must check if the town's 400-permit cap has been reached before applying. All hosts need to pass a fire inspection, get a town business license, and pay an annual permit fee of either $250 or $500. Once active, you are responsible for collecting and remitting the 2% town accommodations tax in addition to state and county taxes.
