Montgomery does not appear to have a city-level short-term rental ordinance in our data, and we have no record of a statewide STR preemption law in Alabama governing your property.
The state does levy a 4% state lodging tax on short-term stays, which you will be responsible for collecting and remitting.
Because no specific city or county rules are documented here, contact Montgomery city offices and the county directly to confirm any local registration, zoning, or tax requirements before hosting.

We watch Montgomery's short-term rental rules and alert you the moment they change. Check your address free, then $8.25/month, billed annually to keep it monitored.
