Short-term rental permit rules in Suwanee, GA — also called Airbnb permits, vacation rental licenses, or STR registration — list the application steps, fees, and operating requirements for hosting.
Short-term rentals (under 30 days) require a city-issued STR permit and business license in Suwanee. Operation in most single-family residential zones is restricted or prohibited by zoning.
Suwanee regulates STRs through its zoning code and business licensing. STRs are generally not permitted as of right in R-100 and R-140 single-family districts without a special use permit. Mixed-use and multi-family zones near Town Center may allow STRs with proper licensing. Operators must collect local hotel-motel tax and register with the city.
Operating without permit: $500 per day. Zoning violations can lead to cease-and-desist orders.
