4 rules for unincorporated Western Connecticut, Connecticut.
Verified from official government sources
Connecticut has no statewide STR preemption; each Western Connecticut town regulates short-term rentals through its own zoning. Some require registration, others restrict STRs to certain zones. Check your municipality.
STR guests are bound by the noise ordinance of whichever member town the rental sits in — typically 55 dBA day / 45 dBA night in residential zones for towns using the state framework.
Connecticut imposes a 15% state room occupancy tax on lodging rented for fewer than 30 consecutive days (CGS §12-407), which applies to short-term rentals throughout the region. No member town levies a separate local lodging tax.
STR guest parking must comply with each town's zoning off-street parking standards and on-street parking rules, including snow-operation restrictions.
