Diversity Awards 2026

The City of Columbia&rsquo;s short-term rental (STR) regulations were adopted in February 2024 and become effective June 1, 2024. As of June 1, 2025, all dwellings operated as short-term rentals were required to have obtained zoning approval, a STR Certificate of Compliance and a Business License, pursuant to Chapter 29, Chapter 22, Article 5 and Chapter 13 of the City Code. Additionally, as of June 1, 2025 operators were required to electronically remit accommodation taxes for each booked night equal to 5% of the nightly room rate to the City of Columbia pursuant to Chapter 26 of the City Code. Failure to obtain zoning compliance, a STR certificate, a business license or remit accommodation taxes can result in enforcement action being pursued against a non-compliant operator. The STR compliance process is comprised of three unique steps &mdash; zoning compliance, rental inspection and business licensing. Rental inspection and business licensing cannot occur without first successfully obtain zoning compliance. Zoning compliance may require securing a conditional use permit (CUP) from the City Council.Dwellings used as short-term rentals fall into one of three licensing tiers. The three tiers are:<ul><li dir="ltr">Tier 1 (Long-term Resident) &ndash; Maximum 30-night usage annually.</li><li dir="ltr">Tier 2 (Long-term Resident) &ndash; Maximum 120-night or 210-night usage annually. 210-night usage requires conditional use permit (CUP) approval.</li><li dir="ltr">Tier 2 (Not a Long-term Resident) &ndash; Maximum 210 nights requires conditional use permit (CUP) approval.</li><li dir="ltr">Tier 3 (located in M-DT, M-N, M-C, or M-OF zoning districts) &ndash; Greater than 120 nights. STR use in M-OF zoning district subject to conditional use permit (CUP).</li></ul>To assist operators in becoming legally compliant, the City has prepared a downloadable STR application and supplemental forms (i.e. fillable PDF documents) to assist in the review and licensing of dwellings used for short-term rental purposes. The application and supplemental documents can be found under the &quot;Documents&quot; tab on this BeHeard page. In addition to the application and supplemental forms, there are specific STR regulations are found within Chapter 13, 22, 26 and 29 of the City Code. These regulations can also be found under the &quot;Documents&quot; tab on this BeHeard page.STR operators seeking licensure are strongly encouraged to review these provisions and read fully the STR Application Instructions on Pages 1-3. Many common questions about the licensure process and application submission errors can be avoided if one reviews these documents.
