Short-term rental permit rules in Vienna, VA — also called Airbnb permits, vacation rental licenses, or STR registration — list the application steps, fees, and operating requirements for hosting.
The Town of Vienna has its own STR regulations separate from Fairfax County. The Fairfax County STL ordinance does not apply to incorporated towns. Vienna residents must comply with Town of Vienna zoning for any short-term rental use. Contact Planning & Zoning for current permit requirements.
The Town of Vienna is an independent municipality — the Fairfax County STR permitting framework (60-night cap, $270 permit, 185-day residency) does not apply here. Vienna regulates STRs under its own Town Code (Chapter 18 Zoning and Chapter 13 land use). As of the latest research, Vienna does not have a widely publicized standalone STR permit program comparable to Fairfax County's, but operators must ensure zoning compliance. Contact Vienna Planning & Zoning at 703-255-6341 for current requirements. The VA Code §15.2-983 registry framework is available for the town to adopt.
Operating without permit: $250 to $500/day depending on locality. Safety violations: correction notice with timeline. Repeat violations: permit revocation.
