Atlanta STR Licenses Required?
Afternoon! I'm about to head down to Atlanta, GA for a few months to get started with my short term rentals (most likely via master leasing/rental arbitrage to begin). In doing some reading on airbnb itself, I see that the city of Atlanta requires all hosts to acquire some licenses (business, hotel, etc). It seems as though it takes no longer than a week to secure a business license from the city. I don't have any problem going through with the licenses, but I read that your property must also be in the correct zoning. Is this heavily regulated by the city? Has anyone in the Atlanta area ever come across any regulations/tax issues that I should be aware of?
Just trying to figure out how to best navigate this as a newbie. Any constructive advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
