Cobb County Short-Term Rental Proposal

If you own property in a residential neighborhood and rent out all or a portion of your property on a short- term basis, you need to pay attention to ordinances being considered by Cobb County to regulate short term rentals.  Short term rentals are rentals for 30 days or less.

Cobb County is among several area municipalities that have adopted or are considering adopting regulations to curb short term rental violations in residential neighborhoods.

Following are key provisions of the proposed regulation. Specific details, starting on page 35, can be found at: https://s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/cobbcounty.org.if-us-west-2/prod/2021-12/2022-Code-Amendment-Package-v2-CLEAN.pdf

The HOA Network would like to hear your comments or concerns about this proposal. Email us at: hoanetwork@mableton.org.

  • The number and location of parking spaces allotted to the premises must be reported at time of application.
  • If the short-term rental agent changes, the property owner shall notify the county within five business days.

Penalties:

  • $500 – first violation within any 12-month period.
