Fulton County Georgia Short-Term Rental Ordinance

[Pablo1226]

Hi all,

Does anyone know if I can get an STR license for a property that is NOT my primary residence? It seems to me that the ordinance is not clear about this, and our Airbnb is not our primary residence. I am worried that we would have to end our business in a few days due to this new ordinance!

Or, is there a way to fight for this, so the ordinance is adjusted?

Thanks a lot for any advice

Where do you live in Fulton County? Atlanta just passed an ordinance, but they an allow owner-occupied STR AND one other non-owner-occupied STR.

I live in dekalb but I think it's the same. Just hoping I read this ordinance thing wrong. Big part of our income. Thanks!

Hello,

Yes, you can. City of Atlanta will allow up to two properties for STR. Only one property needs to be a primary residence.
