Verified from official government sources
Beaufort County (the unincorporated areas surrounding the cities of Beaufort, Bluffton, Hilton Head Island, Hardeeville, Port Royal, and Yemassee) regulates short-term rentals through Section 4.1.360 of the Beaufort County Community Development Code (CDC). Operators in unincorporated Beaufort County must obtain (1) a Short-Term Rental Property (STRP) Zoning Permit from the Planning & Zoning Department (Multi Government Center, 100 Ribaut Road), (2) a Beaufort County Business License from Business Services, (3) registration with SCDOR for State Sales Tax and State Accommodations Tax under S.C. Code Title 12, Chapter 36, and (4) compliance with the County's Fire Safety Standards Form and Short-Term Rental Safety Checklist. STRP zoning permits must be renewed annually on or before April 1 of each year. Hilton Head Island, the dominant STR market in the county, operates a separate and stricter Town-level permit regime; this entry covers unincorporated Beaufort County only.
