Challenging to Investors
Altoona Regulations
STRs are technically allowed but conditioned by a mandatory conditional-use permit and a strict owner-occupancy requirement (owner present during all guest stays), which effectively blocks professional/investor‑owned STRs and adds permitting cost and process risk. No quantitative caps are mentioned, but the owner‑presence rule functions as an operational barrier that materially deters investor strategies.
