Short-term rentals in Edgewood, Kentucky, are currently illegal due to a city council decision maintaining a ban on such rentals, which includes popular platforms like Airbnb. The zoning ordinance categorizes Edgewood as primarily residential (R1), where rentals for "considerable time" are allowed, thus prohibiting short-term rentals that contradict this residential use. The local rental market is thus limited, primarily catering to long-term residential leases rather than short-term tourist or business traveler accommodations. Despite some interest from property owners in capitalizing on the rental market, the council's decision reflects community concerns about the impact of these rentals on local neighborhoods. The local government authority responsible for these regulations is the Edgewood City Council.
