Short-Term Rental
In response to the growing popularity of the short-term rental of private, single family residences, the County of Henrico has adopted regulations to legalize and help ensure the safe operation of this type of lodging.
Beginning July 1st, 2020, registered homeowners will be allowed to rent space in their homes to guests for stays of less than thirty days. The process first involves zoning approval followed by an online registration.
Fees
The annual registry fee is $200. There is $300.00 application fee if a Conditional Use Permit is required. After July 1, short-term rentals will also be required to pay transient occupancy tax of 8%.
