Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short-term rentals are permitted in Albrightsville, and a permit is required. The rules depend on the township, because Albrightsville is unincorporated and spans Penn Forest Township and Kidder Township in Carbon County, with small portions in Monroe County townships.
Penn Forest Township permits STRs broadly with no residential-zone exclusions. Operators need an annual STR license at $250 per year plus a one-time zoning permit at $150, and a code enforcement inspection before operating. Occupancy is capped at two guests per bedroom plus four additional, and a local contact who can respond within one hour must be designated. Enforcement is mainly through a 24/7 complaint hotline at 855-255-5767.
Kidder Township also allows STRs but costs more. It requires a certificate of occupancy with an annual inspection, at $2,000 the first year and $1,000 for renewals, plus $500,000 in liability insurance. Kidder revised its ordinance in 2021, which raised permit costs significantly. The Monroe County portion in Chestnuthill Township limits STRs to commercial zones.
The occupancy tax is 9% for Carbon County parcels, made up of the 6% Pennsylvania state tax and a 3% county excise tax. Airbnb and VRBO typically collect state taxes, but the county tax is generally remitted by operators quarterly. There is no cap on rental nights, and no owner-occupancy or primary-residence requirement. Enforcement severity is rated moderate.
Private communities add another layer. Mount Pocahontas restricted STRs as of June 1, 2024 to owners who acquired property before that date. Verify HOA and POA rules property by property.
Market Comparison
Momentum is strong. Year-over-year occupancy growth of 24.5% and revenue growth of 20.7% show the market recovering from the post-2021 decline, though occupancy remains well under its 2020 level of 55.5%.
