HostReadyTafton, PA does not have a city-level short-term rental ordinance in our data, and we have no record of a Pennsylvania statewide STR preemption law, so no specific state-level STR framework is known to govern your property here. On the tax side, Pennsylvania applies a 6% state hotel occupancy tax to short-term stays. Because local rules can still exist at the municipal or county level (including zoning, permits, or lodging taxes) outside what we track, contact the Pike County and Palmyra Township offices directly to confirm any requirements that apply to your rental.
Licensing and Permits
Tafton requires hosts to obtain an STR license or permit before listing their property on platforms like Airbnb or VRBO.
Enforcement
