Woodstock requires STR operators to obtain a biennial permit for their primary residence, defined as living there 183+ days a year. Unhosted rentals of an entire home are capped at 30 nights per year, while hosted rentals of a portion of the home have no night limit. A total of 10% in state and local taxes applies to all stays under 31 days.
To host an Airbnb in Woodstock, you must get a Short-Term Rental Permit for your primary residence, which you must live in for over half the year. If you rent out your entire home while you're away, you're limited to 30 nights per year. However, if you stay on-site and just rent out a room or portion of your home, there's no night limit. You'll need to provide proof of residency, a floor plan, and insurance with your application. Remember to also register your rental with the state fire marshal and for state taxes, and you must post your Woodstock permit number on your Airbnb listing.
