Challenging to Investors
Cape Elizabeth Regulations
STRs are explicitly legal but face significant constraints including strict annual day caps (42-182 days depending on STR type), moderate permit fees ($500-1000), and complex multi-tiered system requiring homestead exemption, safety inspections, and detailed documentation. The combination of occupancy limits, parking restrictions, one-rental-per-week rules, and annual permit renewal creates substantial compliance burden that could deter some investors despite clear legality.
