Pittsburgh FAQ

Can I run a non-primary-residence STR in Pittsburgh?

Sometimes. Dedicated whole-home STRs are allowed in many zones, but Pittsburgh's zoning code limits them in protected residential districts and requires limited-lodging licensing in all cases.

How does Pittsburgh verify my primary residence?

Applicants disclose primary-residence status to PLI; staff may cross-check voter, tax, and utility records before issuing or renewing a limited-lodging license.
