Night Caps: Lawrenceville vs Snellville

How many nights per year can I rent out my Lawrenceville Airbnb?

Lawrenceville limits each licensed short-term rental to 120 reservations per calendar year, not 120 nights. A single reservation may be up to 29 days, so the practical night ceiling depends on average stay length. The Planning and Development Department uses your required guest log to verify the 120-booking cap, so keep clean records and confirm the current limit at 770-963-2414.

Can someone book my Lawrenceville STR for a full month?

Not as a short-term rental. The city caps each individual stay at 29 days, which aligns with Georgia's 30-day hotel-motel tax threshold under O.C.G.A. 48-13-51. A booking of 30 consecutive days or more becomes a long-term residential rental governed by Georgia landlord-tenant law rather than the STR ordinance, and it does not count against your 120-reservation annual cap.

Is there a limit on how many nights per year I can rent my Snellville home on Airbnb?

No. Snellville's short-term rental ordinance (Ord. 2019-15) does not cap the total number of nights a licensed STR can be rented in a year, and Georgia has no statewide annual night cap either. The only nightly limit is the definition itself: a stay of more than 30 consecutive nights is no longer treated as a short-term rental.

Can a guest stay longer than 30 nights in my Snellville STR?

A single continuous stay of more than 30 consecutive nights falls outside Snellville's short-term rental definition and is treated as a residential lease rather than an STR. That changes which rules apply, including landlord-tenant law and the hotel/motel excise tax (which generally does not apply to leases over 30 days). Confirm specific tax treatment with the Snellville Planning Department.
