Mechanicsburg Regulations
STRs are clearly permitted and follow the standard rental ordinance; operators must obtain a building permit, zoning permit (and HARB in the Historic District), pass a residential rental inspection, and maintain a Certificate of Compliance valid for 36 months. Fees are moderate (e.g., $55 zoning, building fee schedule), and state sales/hotel taxes apply to stays under 30 days. Enforcement is active with fines and possible imprisonment for non-compliance, but the process is straightforward and manageable.
