What are Short-Term Rentals?

In 2017 the Tuscaloosa City Council voted to amend the Zoning Ordinance to allow short-term rentals to operate legally within two Tourist Overlay Districts in the City of Tuscaloosa. Sec. 24-5 of the City Ordinance defines the following items:

  • Short Term Rental: “the transient use of any dwelling or any part of a dwelling for overnight occupancy”.
  • Transient: “A person(s) occupying a dwelling for less than thirty (30) days.”

In order to use any part of a residence as a short-term rental location, the City of Tuscaloosa requires that owners meet certain criteria prior to beginning short term leasing.

We recommend that you review the information prior to filling any applications.
