HostReadyBurlington requires all short term rental hosts to register annually with the enforcement agency by April 1 and provide written proof of primary residence. A host may register their primary residence as one whole-unit STR or up to three rooms as a partial-unit STR; whole-unit STRs at non-primary residences are only allowed in limited circumstances (seasonal homes or in buildings with paired affordable rentals). A host may not register more than one whole-unit short term rental and tenants may only register STRs in their primary residence.
Licensing and Permits
Burlington requires hosts to obtain an STR license or permit before listing their property on platforms like Airbnb or VRBO. An inspection is required as part of the permitting process.
Enforcement
Burlington has high enforcement of STR regulations. Operating without proper licensing or failing to comply with local regulations can result in citations, fines, and potential loss of your permit.
