Online
In PersonIn 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 may apply to rent space in their homes to guests for stays of less than thirty days. The process involves zoning approval, a change of use permit, and finally online registration.
Fees
The annual registry fee is $200. If a Conditional Use Permit is required for zoning approval, there is a $300.00 application fee.
