Location
I specialize in the Downtown/North Main area of Columbia. Within the city limits of Columbia, Short Term Rentals are heavily regulated, especially via zoning. As of 2026, In the city limits, new STRs are limited to areas zoned commercial or on 4 lane highways. This excludes any new permits for properties that are zoned residential.
Permit
Major components which I provide for my clients are: a permit, business license, safety guidelines, and adherence to guest maximum of 2 per bedroom plus 2. More detailed info is provided by the City of Columbia Code Enforcement Division.
Where can I start a Short Term Rental?
Outside the City Limits, I can help prospective clients navigate the best locations that also align with my infrastructure.
If the property is within the City Limits of Columbia, it must be zoned commercial or on a 4 lane highway. Maps to search your property can be found through the City’s official GIS portal.
