Center Hill Lake does not appear in our data as having a city-level STR ordinance, so your property is governed primarily by Tennessee state law. Under TCA § 13-7-602 (Short Term Rental Unit Act, 2018), Tennessee provides partial preemption: cities cannot ban STRs that existed before a new ordinance was adopted (grandfather protection), but they retain authority to regulate new STRs, including capping permits, requiring licenses, and restricting rental frequency. The state sales tax rate of 7% applies to your rental income, plus any applicable local hotel/motel taxes. Contact the local city and county authorities directly to confirm any specific permitting, licensing, or operational requirements that may apply to your property.
