Spartanburg County and South Carolina set no cap on the number of nights a short-term rental may be booked. State law only defines transient stays as fewer than 90 continuous days for accommodations-tax purposes.
There is no annual night limit for short-term rentals in unincorporated Spartanburg County—the county has no STR zoning to impose one—and South Carolina does not cap rental nights statewide. The only night-related threshold in state law is definitional: the accommodations tax applies to lodging furnished to transients, meaning stays of fewer than 90 continuous days. The City of Spartanburg limits STRs by location (commercial, downtown, and mixed-use zones) rather than by a nights-per-year quota. Hosts should still track SC Department of Revenue rules distinguishing short-term transient rentals from long-term leases.
No night-cap penalty exists; enforcement instead targets operating in a prohibited zone (city) or failing to remit accommodations tax on transient stays.
