Yazoo City Regulations
Short‑term rentals are not explicitly defined; investors must operate through existing lodging categories (B&Bs in residential zones or hotels in commercial zones), which require building permits, certificates of occupancy, zoning compliance checks, and potentially special exceptions and site‑plan reviews. Home‑occupation limits (25% floor area, one non‑resident employee), parking/traffic restrictions, and unclear enforcement mechanisms raise compliance risk and limit whole‑house short‑term rental flexibility.
