Greenville County sets no minimum-stay requirement and no annual cap on the number of nights a property may be rented short-term. State tax law does treat stays of 90 or more continuous days as non-transient, which effectively marks the point where a rental stops being a taxable short-term stay.
The Zoning Ordinance and County Code contain no provision limiting how many nights per year a dwelling may be offered for short-term rental, nor any minimum booking length. The only night-based threshold is fiscal: under state law, gross proceeds from accommodations supplied to the same person for ninety continuous days are not considered transient proceeds, so the state accommodations tax stops applying at that point. Below that, the number of rental nights is unrestricted by the county, though the underlying use must still be a zoning-permitted B&B or Hotel/Motel.
No county penalty attaches to night counts. Misclassifying a 90-plus-day tenancy as a taxable short stay (or vice versa) is a state tax-remittance issue enforced by the SC Department of Revenue.
