Generally Investor friendly
Morgantown clearly allows STRs citywide with a moderate compliance framework including city registration, triennial inspections, business licensing, and tax obligations. The permitting process is structured but manageable, requiring zoning verification, safety standards, and local contact requirements rather than excessive burdens. No meaningful caps exist, and enforcement appears consistent through established Code Enforcement channels, making compliance predictable for investors.
