Short-term rentals (STRs), often referred to as "transient rentals" in Appomattox County, Virginia, are legal and regulated, having been permitted in residential zones under current county ordinances. The Appomattox Town Council voted to allow these rentals, such as those listed on Airbnb, particularly in more populated residential areas, enhancing the local accommodation options. The types of properties that thrive include cabins and cottages appealing to visitors seeking a rural escape, as well as homes and apartments within the town. The market is primarily tourist-oriented, catering to those exploring the area's historic sites, particularly the Appomattox Court House National Historical Park. The local government oversees these operations, requiring STR operators to pay a transient occupancy tax of 2% on total room charges, with oversight conducted by the Commissioner of the Revenue.
