We built an easy go-to site for STR rules in 43 Indiana cities, towns, and counties

We built a full guide to the STR rules in Indiana!

My wife and I own and manage short term rentals. The guide covers 43 cities, towns, and counties, including:

Indianapolis, Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Westfield, Greenwood, Avon, Plainfield, Zionsville, Bloomington, Brown County, New Albany, Jeffersonville, Clarksville, Evansville, Fort Wayne, South Bend, Lafayette, and Michigan City.

Each town has its own page with permits, fees, how to apply, where rentals are allowed, guest limits, inspections, penalties, and a link to the official rules.

To find it, search for Hearth and Haven Hosting and go to the rules tab at the top of our website! If you visit, we would love your thoughts and feedback!

    @Joseph Sauer, this is a really useful resource! Having the rules for so many Indiana locations in one place can save STR owners a lot of time, especially since requirements can vary from one area to another.

    I'm a real estate attorney and broker based in Maryland, and I've worked with property owners and investors on real estate transactions and rental matters. I've seen how important it is to understand local regulations before investing in a property. One thing I'd also encourage owners to check is any HOA or condo restrictions, since those can affect rental plans even when local rules allow them.

    I appreciate you and your wife putting this together, @Joseph Sauer! It's great to see resources that help property owners make more informed decisions. Happy to stay connected!

      Yes! Great advice! HOA's and Condo Associations are a whole other beast and investors have to make sure they're meeting their requirements.

      I'd love to provide resources for every HOA resources, but there are so many and they can change rules on a whim. I don't think we could keep up with the changes even if we somehow gathered all the other information 馃槀

      Yeah but worth it if it helps investors. When I got started with STR investing, tracking this info down was such a pain!

    Great work! I am sure IN investors can make great use of this. If you are trying to get it in front of more IN investors I would recommend going into local host FB groups, as this group is nationwide. Good luck!
