Montgomery County sets no cap on how many nights a year a short-term rental may operate. Any limit on length of stay or number of stays per year is a municipal zoning choice made by your borough or township, not the county.
There is no countywide annual-night or stay limit for short-term rentals. The PA 2025 study lists "length of stay" and "number of stays per year" among the items municipalities may address in their zoning ordinances. Some Pennsylvania municipalities cap the total nights per calendar year, set a minimum-night stay, or limit consecutive bookings, especially for non-owner-occupied properties; many impose no cap at all. Because Montgomery County does no land-use zoning, the controlling limit is whatever your specific borough or township ordinance provides. Review your local STR ordinance and permit conditions.
Exceeding a municipal night or stay cap is a zoning violation enforced by the local codes office, generally through notices, per-day fines, and possible permit revocation.
