Short-Term Rental Ordinance

As a resort area, Hilton Head Island has numerous short-term rental units. The lack of a Short-Term Rental ordinance has led to an imbalance between residential and resort districts and the elimination of some long-term single-family neighborhoods. The Town proposes to craft a Short-Term Rental ordinance to develop a fair, predictable, and balanced approach to manage short-term rental impacts on our neighborhoods, economy, housing stock, public facilities, and the quality of life of our residents and experiences of our visitors.

The Town has hired White & Smith, Planning and Law Group out of Charleston, SC to assist the Town in undertaking this initiative. The firm has extensive experience in the development of effective and durable Short-Term Rental ordinances.
