Louisville Rental Rules Owners Should Know

Registration: every short-term rental in Louisville Metro must register every year ($250 a year). The registration number must appear in every listing. Source: Louisville Metro
If it's not your home: renting a place that isn't your primary residence in most residential zones needs a Conditional Use Permit, which includes a public hearing. New permits can't be within 600 feet of another permitted rental. Source: Louisville Metro
Occupancy: 2 guests per bedroom plus 2, capped at 12 people over age 16. You also need a local emergency contact within 25 miles. Source: Louisville Metro
Taxes: about 15.5% in total (6% Kentucky sales tax, 1% state room tax, 8.5% Louisville Metro room tax). Airbnb and Vrbo remit these for their bookings, but every host still registers with the Revenue Commission. Direct bookings are filed monthly. We handle tourist tax filing for every home we manage.

Good to Know

Louisville Management FAQs

Do I need a permit for an Airbnb in Louisville?

Every short-term rental must register with Louisville Metro every year ($250). If the home isn't your primary residence and it's in most residential zones, you also need a Conditional Use Permit, which includes a public hearing.

What is Louisville's 600-foot rule?

A new Conditional Use Permit for a short-term rental can't be granted within 600 feet of another permitted short-term rental. That makes checking the address before you buy important.

Which Louisville homes do you manage?

We manage short-term rentals in the Highlands. You can see them on our properties page.

How busy is Derby week?

Derby is Louisville's biggest weekend of the year. The 2027 race is Saturday, May 1, with the Oaks on Friday, April 30.

What does your management include?

Everything: professional listing setup on Airbnb and VRBO, dynamic pricing, 24/7 guest communication, cleaning and turnover coordination, maintenance, and monthly owner statements.
