Mecklenburg County does not impose a minimum or maximum night cap on STR bookings in unincorporated areas. NCGS 160D-1207 preempts registration-based night caps.
Unlike some NC coastal counties, Mecklenburg has not enacted rental length restrictions. Operators are free to accept one-night bookings, though most hosts impose 2-night minimums to reduce turnover and party risk. Room occupancy tax applies to any stay under 90 continuous days; stays of 90 days or more are exempt and treated as long-term tenancy under NC Residential Tenant Act.
