To host an Airbnb in Stockbridge, you must register your primary residence with the town's Board of Health every year. You can only register one property, and you can't use an accessory dwelling unit. If you aren't present during the rental, you're limited to 90 nights per year. Before you apply, you'll need to pass a safety inspection and get a $1 million liability insurance policy. Once you get your registration number, you must include it in your online listing.
