Matthews does not maintain a short-term rental registry. NC state law (NCGS 160D-1207(c)) prohibits mandatory STR registration separate from standard zoning and building permitting.
Because of NCGS 160D-1207(c), Matthews cannot require STR-specific registration. Operators should retain platform tax records and proof of zoning compliance. HOAs in Matthews may still require owner disclosure and internal registration. Contact Matthews at (704) 847-4411 for enforcement.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
