Matthews does not impose minimum or maximum night-stay limits on STRs. NCGS 160D-1207(c) limits city authority to regulate rental duration. Tax treatment changes at 90 nights (occupancy tax threshold).
No Matthews ordinance caps STR rental nights. Stays under 90 consecutive days are subject to occupancy tax; stays of 90+ days are exempt and treated as long-term rentals under NC Landlord-Tenant Act (NCGS 42). Contact Matthews at (704) 847-4411 for enforcement.
