Generally Investor friendly
Portsmouth permits STRs in most residential zones with a simple $130 registration that includes inspections, clear occupancy limits, and a supportive, complaint‑based enforcement stance. The main downside is the pending R‑10 ban that could remove ~40% of inventory and restrict high‑density areas, creating location‑specific risk for investors.
