York County sets no host-presence or on-site-manager requirement. Whether a host or local contact must be reachable or present is a municipal rule set by your borough or township.
A host-presence rule requires the owner or a designated local contact to be on-site or reachable while guests are staying. In Pennsylvania this is a municipal zoning/STR-ordinance choice, not a county power. York County has no host-presence requirement. Many municipal STR ordinances instead require a designated 24-hour local responsible party who can respond to complaints within a set time rather than physical presence. Because York County does not license STRs, look to your borough, city, or township ordinance to learn whether you must live on-site, be present during stays, or simply name a local emergency contact.
Failure to maintain a required on-site host or local contact is enforced by the municipality, often through STR-permit suspension, revocation, or fines.
