HostReadyHartfield does not appear to have a city-level STR ordinance in our data, so your property is governed primarily by Virginia state law. Under Virginia's partial preemption framework, localities cannot outright ban STRs in residential areas, but they are allowed to cap the number of permits, require licensing, and restrict how frequently a property is rented. Virginia applies a 5.3% state sales tax on lodging. Contact Middlesex County or local Hartfield authorities directly to confirm any county or local registration, licensing, or zoning requirements that may apply to your property.
