Generally Investor friendly
STRs are explicitly permitted with a free, simple annual registry via the Commissioner of Revenue and moderate penalty/fee structure, and state tax requirements are straightforward. However, investors must confirm zoning compliance (lodging use), creating an additional step and compliance risk absent detailed citywide zoning clarity.
