How to Run a Compliant Short-Term Rental

The goal of our short-term rental program is to make the home-sharing economy work for everyone in the City of East Point.

Short-term rentals are residential units rented for 29 days or less. They can be houses, apartments, condos, cabins, rooms, or certain other dwellings. They might instead be called vacation rentals, home shares, or something similar.

Property owners of short-term rentals must apply for a permit and then must renew the permit annually. After the property owner has received the permit, they must file for a business license if the property is a whole house short-term rental.
