Market Overview
This profile covers Jeffersonville, Indiana, using data for September 2026. Jeffersonville sits directly across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky, and the performance figures below describe the Louisville metro STR market that includes it, not Jeffersonville alone. In September 2026 that market recorded an average daily rate of $270, occupancy of 62.0%, and average monthly revenue per listing of $4,171. Compared with September 2025, occupancy rose 4.6%, ADR slipped 0.4%, and revenue edged up 0.6%, so the gain came from more booked nights rather than higher rates. Entire places averaged $283 per night and earned $4,379 per month. Houses earned $4,510 monthly and apartments earned $3,679. Calendar 2026 through September averages 57.0% occupancy, a $219 ADR and $3,424 in monthly revenue, compared with 54.4% occupancy, a $214 ADR and $3,300 for full year 2025. Jeffersonville itself has a population of 51,043 and is the largest city in the Southern Indiana tourism region across Clark and Floyd counties. Demand is tied to Louisville day-trippers and weekend visitors drawn to the riverfront, the Big Four Bridge pedestrian crossing, the historic downtown, and local dining. Visitor spending across Clark and Floyd counties reached about $559 million in 2024, up from roughly $550 million in 2023 and $509 million in 2022, and supported about 7,370 jobs. Bedroom, channel, and listing-type counts and top operator names are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Jeffersonville, so this profile omits them.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Jeffersonville allows short-term rentals but requires a permit for every one of them. The city adopted its first STR rules on November 6, 2024, as Article 8.10 of the Unified Development Ordinance, after debating a moratorium amid roughly 250 to 300 listings and about 100 new ones in a year. Every STR, including owner-occupied units, must register and obtain a permit before operating. The permit costs a one-time, non-refundable $150, expires one year after issuance, and renews annually at no additional cost. The Zoning Administrator issues conforming permits within 30 days. The city recognizes two types: owner-occupied, meaning the owner’s primary residence, and non-owner-occupied. There is no city-wide owner-occupancy or primary-residence requirement and no cap on nights rented per year. Location is the key constraint. Owner-occupied STRs are allowed in any zone that permits residential use. Non-owner-occupied STRs are allowed in residential zones, except in the Downtown and Adjacent Neighborhoods within CN, CO, M1, R1, R2, R3, or R4 districts, where a Special Exception from the Board of Zoning Appeals is required before a permit issues. Pre-existing rentals that registered by about March 6, 2025 kept legal non-conforming status. Operating without a permit or a required Special Exception is a violation subject to fines under UDO Article 11.9. The occupancy tax is 6%, and enforcement severity is rated moderate. Rentals must also meet noise, parking, garbage and occupancy standards.
Market Comparison
The Louisville metro STR market, which includes Jeffersonville, recorded 62.0% occupancy and a $270 ADR in September 2026, with 2026 year to date averages of 57.0% occupancy and a $219 ADR. Winter is softer, with January occupancy at 44.9%. Jeffersonville’s appeal is its position on the Indiana side of the Ohio River, with walkable access to the Big Four Bridge, the Ohio River Greenway and downtown dining, and with Louisville a short distance away. Investors should weigh that against the new permit rules and the Special Exception requirement for non-owner-occupied rentals in the downtown area. Top operator names are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Jeffersonville, so this profile omits them.
