Short-Term Housing Rentals

If you’re planning to operate a short-term housing rental in Dandridge, Tennessee (often called a short-term rental or STR), you’ll typically need to follow local rules designed to protect neighborhood safety and quality of life. These requirements commonly cover things like where STRs are allowed (zoning), maximum occupancy, parking, trash handling, noise expectations, life-safety items (smoke/CO alarms, fire extinguishers, egress), and having a local contact available to respond to issues. Staying compliant from the start can help avoid delays, complaints, or enforcement actions—especially if you’re renovating the property, changing its use, or advertising it for nightly stays.

Short Term Rental Application + Ord 23-24-22

Dandridge’s Short Term Rental Application is generally the formal step used to document your rental’s details and confirm compliance with local standards before you begin operating (or to renew/maintain approval). The application typically asks for property and owner/host information, a local responsible party, the type of rental use, and supporting items such as a floor plan, parking plan, occupancy limits, and proof of required safety features. Ordinance 23-24-22 (Short Term Rentals) establishes the governing requirements and ongoing obligations—so reviewing it alongside your application helps ensure your property setup, guest rules, and operations match what the ordinance requires. Submitting a complete application packet and aligning your listing details (occupancy, parking, contact info) with the ordinance can make the review process smoother and help you stay in good standing once you’re live.
