Hosting

Must you notify your local municipality before hosting your home?

This is a good question and asked frequently. 

Hosting is a business. Your local municipality issues business licenses and has regulations for public health and safety. 

Airbnb has a very important section in the Terms about being responsible for complying with local rules and regulations. 

Also important is getting along with neighbors; which includes noise, hours, parking and parties, for starters. 

The City Hall staff will also be able to advise you of any zoning issues around operating a business in your location. 

Definitely do your homework, and avoid hassles in the future. Best of luck and enjoy!
