Guilford County sets no cap on the number of nights a short-term rental may be booked per year. North Carolina law also blocks counties from capping the overall number or intensity of STRs, so the limit is your zoning use type, not an annual night quota.
Neither the Guilford County UDO nor the county code imposes an annual limit on rental nights for short-term rentals. North Carolina courts (Schroeder v. City of Wilmington) have struck down local caps on the overall number of short-term rentals, and NC Gen. Stat. 160D-1207(c) blocks registration-based controls absent a verified-violation history. What the county can do is confine a lodging use to certain zoning districts through the UDO. So there is no "180-night" style cap here; instead, the question is whether your parcel's district permits the lodging use at all. Cities within the county may adopt their own operating limits.
Because there is no night cap, there is no per-night penalty. Enforcement is limited to running a lodging use not permitted in your zoning district, handled as a UDO violation.
