STR Regulations in Southern Pines, NC

[CJ S.]

I have scoured online and called multiple places with no solid information or documentation on the STR regs in Moore County (Southern Pines), North Carolina.

Is anyone familiar with ( OR Where to find) the Short Term Rental regulations for Southern Pines, NC. I am looking for information on lengths of stays allowed, age requirements permits needed, specifics of safety signs if your property has a pool (and are you required to drain), etc.

I live in Moore county and this has been a hot debate in our area at the moment. Some long term residents have been complaining about short term rentals in their neighborhood. But at the same time we are a tourist area with a shortage of hotels/rentals/ short term housing. And the city does recognize that.... Ultimately this has been coming up at board meetings over the last 6 months and I would expect some sort of regulations in the near future. I would recommend scouring "The pilot" it's our local newspaper and they have had articles on this issue with summaries of the board meetings.
