HostReadyOgunquit does not appear to have a city-level STR ordinance in our data, and we have no record of a Maine statewide preemption law governing short-term rentals. That means your operation is not shaped by a specific state framework we can point you to. Maine does apply a 9% state lodging tax to short-term rental stays, which you will need to collect and remit. Because local rules can exist even when we have no record of them, contact Ogunquit town authorities directly to confirm any permit, zoning, or registration requirements before hosting.

Enforcement
Ogunquit has low 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.
