Short-term rental permit rules in Senoia, GA — also called Airbnb permits, vacation rental licenses, or STR registration — list the application steps, fees, and operating requirements for hosting.
Georgia gives full local control over STRs. Unincorporated Coweta County has no dedicated STR permit ordinance, but zoning, a business/occupation tax and the 8% hotel/motel tax apply.
Georgia does not preempt local short-term rental regulation, so Coweta County and its cities set their own rules. Unincorporated Coweta County has no standalone STR licensing ordinance; rentals are governed through zoning, the county's business and occupation tax, and the 8% hotel/motel excise tax collected on lodging. Operators should confirm the zoning district allows short-term lodging and register to remit the excise tax. The City of Senoia, whose film-tourism draws vacation rentals for 'The Walking Dead' fans, and the City of Newnan may impose additional registration or business-license requirements, so check with each city's planning office before listing.
Failure to remit the hotel/motel excise tax exposes operators to back taxes, penalties and interest. Zoning or city-registration violations carry separate code-enforcement fines.
