A Henrico hosted short-term rental may operate up to 60 days in any calendar year by right. Renting more than a total of 60 days per year requires a Board of Zoning Appeals conditional use permit. Check-in and check-out are also barred between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.
Section 24-4431(A)(4) makes a conditional use permit necessary once a property is rented more than a total of 60 days in any calendar year. Within that 60-day window, and provided the hosted stay meets the other by-right conditions (principal dwelling, at least 80 feet of public-street frontage, no more than six renters), no special zoning approval is needed. Beyond 60 days, or for any unhosted stay, the owner must obtain a conditional use permit from the Board of Zoning Appeals after neighbor notice and a public hearing. Section 24-4431(I) adds a time-of-day limit: the property owner may not offer check-in or check-out services to short-term renters between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Records of each rental's dates
Exceeding 60 rental days without a conditional use permit, or offering check-in/check-out during prohibited hours, violates Section 24-4431. The County can enforce through zoning and the registry, applying the $500 penalty under County Code Sec. 20-282 and, on repeated violations,
