Short-Term Rental Regulations
Campton regulates short-term rentals through its existing zoning ordinance under RSA 674:16 rather than a dedicated STR registry. Operators must obtain a zoning permit from the Selectmen’s Office, with the property reviewed for safety code and zoning compliance. No dedicated STR chapter exists in the town’s ordinance as of mid-2025. Separately, all operators must register for a New Hampshire Meals and Rentals Tax license with the NH Department of Revenue Administration and collect and remit the 8.5% state tax on any stay under 185 days. No cap on maximum nights per year. No owner-occupancy or primary-residence requirement. Enforcement is complaint-driven through the Selectmen’s Office at (603) 726-3223. Operators should be aware that NH Supreme Court rulings in 2024 have reshaped municipal STR zoning authority statewide, and neighboring towns including Ossipee (effective June 4, 2024) and Sunapee have since adopted dedicated STR permitting. A similar local ordinance in Campton is possible in the near term.
Market Comparison
Campton’s April 2026 ADR of $237 is 8% above the US STR median of approximately $220, reflecting the White Mountains premium despite a trough-month reading.
