Cranberry, PA

Cranberry Regulations

STRs are technically legal in Franklin (a third-class city with an STR ordinance), but investors must complete layered, multi-level licensing/registration, obtain safety/electrical/plumbing inspections, and comply with occupancy/noise/parking rules and zoning limits that can restrict many residential areas. The moderate fees and inspections plus uncertain enforcement raise the compliance burden enough to deter smaller operators, placing Franklin in the Challenging tier.
