Introduction

Short-term rentals (STRs), often referred to locally as "short-term residential rentals," are legal in Coffee County, Alabama, provided they meet specific local regulations set by the Enterprise City Council. STRs can include a variety of properties, notably cabins in rural settings and residential homes in urban areas, catering primarily to tourists. The area sees a blend of leisure visitors attracted by the natural scenery and outdoor activities, including hunting and fishing, as well as business travelers due to local employment opportunities. Operators of STRs must comply with a $20 annual permit fee, register with the city, and remit a lodging tax of 6% within city limits and 3% within the police jurisdiction. There are no general zoning restrictions in unincorporated areas of Coffee County, though specific regulations may apply based on local ordinances, particularly concerning safety and operational standards. The City of Enterprise serves as the government authority overseeing these regulations. For more details, visit the official sites: Coffee County FAQs and Enterprise Short-Term Rentals.
