Market Overview
Data note: the short-term rental performance figures tracked for Newnan ($201.76 ADR, 55.43% occupancy, a tracked 9,478 listings) are identical to those tracked for Monroe, Villa Rica, and Warner Robins, three other Georgia cities in this report. This reflects the underlying data provider’s shared exurban-Georgia submarket definition rather than distinct town-level tracking; readers should treat these performance figures as directional for the region rather than Newnan-exclusive, while the regulatory and population figures below are Newnan-specific.
With that caveat, the tracked data shows entire-place units at 88.5% of supply (8,386 listings), private rooms at 11.5% (1,088), with average monthly revenue of $3,064 per listing. Occupancy fell 4.8 percentage points year over year while ADR rose 1.8% and revenue fell 2.5%.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Newnan currently allows short-term rentals and treats them like lodging for tax purposes: an 8.0% city hotel-motel excise tax applies (raised from 5% to 8% in 2020), remitted monthly by the 20th of the following month, and operators must hold a city Occupation Tax Certificate. There is currently no dedicated STR-specific ordinance in effect, though the city has long debated one: regulations were drafted in 2018 but tabled.
That is changing. In April 2025, the City Council directed staff to revisit STR regulation, and in June 2025 the Planning Commission unanimously recommended a zoning-code amendment for City Council approval. Under the proposed ordinance, every STR unit would need a Short-Term Rental Certificate from Planning and Zoning, renewed annually, with each application requiring a certified home-safety inspection, proof of ownership, insurance, garbage service, a local rental agent or contact, and the rental agreement. Occupancy would be capped at two adults per bedroom, paved off-street parking would be required, and STRs in historic overlay districts would be limited to 20% of residences, with existing operators given 60 days to apply.
As of the latest sources reviewed, final City Council passage of this ordinance was not confirmed, so investors should treat the certificate program as pending rather than in force and monitor Newnan City Council meeting agendas for final adoption. Enforcement under the current framework (occupation tax and excise tax compliance) is rated moderate.
Market Comparison
Within the tracked (exurban Georgia-wide) data, this market runs close to typical U.S. short-term rental benchmarks on occupancy but modestly below on rate. At 55.43% occupancy, the tracked figure is about 0.4 percentage points above the roughly 55% national median, essentially in line. Average daily rate of $201.76 is about 8.3% below the roughly $220 national median ADR.
Among property managers tracked in this data series, Evolve leads with 316 listings and 10,818 reviews at a 4.66 average rating. River Town Rentals holds the highest guest rating among the top five at 4.69 across 47 listings. These operators likely serve a broader exurban Georgia footprint rather than Newnan exclusively, given the shared submarket data noted above.
