Challenging to Investors
STRs are technically allowed in Walhalla but only as a conditional use in the R‑25 district and only for detached single‑family or accessory dwellings, limiting where they can operate. The city requires a zoning permit, annual business license, fire/life‑safety inspection, detailed management and operational plans, strict occupancy and stay‑length caps, on‑site‑only parking, quiet‑hours enforcement, and multi‑jurisdictional tax remittances, with penalties (fee doubling, suspension/revocation) for violations—making compliance costly and complex enough to deter many investors.

Walhalla is a city in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Oconee County, South Carolina. Designated in 1868 as the county seat, it lies within the area of the Blue Ridge Escarpment, an area of transition between mountains and piedmont, and contains numerous waterfalls. It is located 16 miles (26 km) from Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina. This European-American city was founded after Indian Removal of the Cherokee in 1838. Early residents were predominantly German immigrants who had been refugees from the German revolutions of 1848-1849. Some English and Scots-Irish farmers also settled here. During the Reconstruction era, when Oconee County was organized in 1868, the state legislature designated Walhalla as its county seat.While the population was 4,263 at the 2010 census, "Walhalla" is used both colloquially and practically to refer to a larger area than is within city limits, often being expanded to the whole 29691 zip code. This larger area has a higher, more spread-out population. The current mayor of Walhalla is Danny Edwards.
