Prince George’s County Short-Term Rentals (STR)
From DPIE:
- In September 2018, the Prince George’s County (Maryland) Council adopted legislation to establish a Short-Term Rentals Program in the County. The legislation will take effect on October 1, 2019. The program will be administered by the County’s Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement (DPIE).
- Under the County’s Short-Term Rentals Program, Prince George’s County homeowners whose properties comply with County Code and who meet certain other criteria may seek a Short-Term Rentals license to host renters working through established rental companies (platforms) such as Airbnb. The licenses cost $150 per year and expire one year from the date of issuance.
- Please read the law carefully to learn details of the program. You may also want to begin researching the different platforms and their requirements.
- Please note, the program does not take effect until October 1, 2019. If you are currently renting your home as a short-term rental through a company such as Airbnb, or on your own, you are operating without a Short-Term Rentals License. You may be permanently barred from participating in the program should your illegal rental be discovered. Anyone with information about illegal short-term rentals should report it to 311 (301-883-4748Call: 301-883-4748).
- DPIE staff is pleased to have the opportunity to work with you. We hope your experience with the Prince George’s County Short-Term Rentals Program will be enjoyable for you and the guests you welcome.
- Prince George’s County is a highly desirable vacation destination. Offering your home for rental presents visitors from around the U.S., and even the world, the opportunity to discover its breath-taking wonders, top-flight amenities and the warm and welcoming people who proudly call it home!
