Short-term rentals (STRs), also referred to as "home-sharing," are legal in Fulton County, Georgia, subject to regulations established by the City of Atlanta. These rentals are primarily available in urban settings, such as apartments and homes in downtown Atlanta, catering mainly to tourists attracted by local events and attractions. The market is vibrant, reflecting a mix of leisure and business travel, as Atlanta hosts numerous conferences and activities throughout the year. As per the City's Short-Term Rental Ordinance, property owners must apply for a short-term rental license, allowing them to rent out their primary residence and one additional unit. The licensing process mandates annual renewal and entails a fee, alongside compliance with local regulations. The Atlanta City Council oversees the enforcement of these regulations, with the Department of City Planning managing the licensing process and public inquiries.
