Indianapolis does not cap the number of rental nights per year, but Chapter 852 imposes a two-night minimum stay requirement on all permitted short-term rentals.
Under the Indianapolis Short-Term Rental Permit Program (Ch. 852), permitted STRs must observe a two-night minimum stay, a rule designed to deter single-night party rentals. The ordinance does not impose an annual cap on rental nights for compliant, permitted operators, but it does prohibit new STR permits in certain residential zoning districts. Operators must be 21 or older and must have a 24-hour local responsible party available.
Listing or accepting bookings shorter than two nights, or operating in a prohibited zone, can result in citation and permit revocation after three violations under Ch. 852.
