Challenging to Investors
Dover Regulations
STRs are technically allowed but only as a primary‑residence, owner‑occupied activity with a hard 30‑day annual cap, mandatory inspections and annual reporting, and a complete prohibition on non‑owner‑occupied STRs—creating high compliance burden and effectively excluding most investors.
