Zoning Ordinance in Lancaster PA

[Edson186]

Hello, we have received a letter from the Zoning City of Lancaster, PA. They have informed us that the city's Zoning Ordinance has been updated, and as a result, we must comply with the new regulations. According to the new rules, it is prohibited to operate an Airbnb on the street where we live. We would like to know if anyone else has encountered this situation and how they are dealing with it. Thank you!

As this sounds like quite the recent local development, it may be difficult to find other Hosts in your specific area on the CC. Have you reached out in your local Host Club?

If there are STR restrictions in your location you're likely to need a license check on your local government website to see if you're property is eligible for STR @Olive1033
