Delaware County sets no cap on how many nights a home can be rented short-term. Any annual night limit is imposed by the individual borough or township. The county's only night-based number is the 30-day tax exemption threshold.
Some Pennsylvania municipalities cap the number of nights per year a property may operate as a short-term rental; others impose no cap. This is a zoning-level decision under the PA Municipalities Planning Code, and regional planning guidance advises municipalities to 'consider including restrictions such as the maximum number of nights a residence can be rented.' Delaware County government imposes no annual night cap. The only county figure tied to nights is the occupancy-tax rule: stays over 30 consecutive days by the same 'permanent resident' become tax-exempt — that governs taxation, not how many total nights a year you may host.
Municipal zoning enforcement where a night cap exists; exceeding it can trigger fines or loss of the STR permit.
