Can I Airbnb in North Conway, NH? (2026)
North Conway is a village within the Town of Conway, NH, where short-term rentals are legal town-wide -- including in residential districts, per the NH Supreme Court's Town of Conway v. Kudrick ruling (May 2, 2023) -- but every rental property must hold a Rental Property Permit under Chapter 72 (Housing & Life Safety Standards), adopted April 8, 2025. One- and two-family homes register via a $50 self-affidavit (fire-department inspection required for new rental uses or ownership changes), and hosts owe New Hampshire's 8.5% Meals and Rooms (Rentals) Tax, which Airbnb/Vrbo collect as facilitators for platform bookings. There are no owner-occupancy rules, night caps, or minimum-stay requirements.
What’s required: a Rental Property Permit (Chapter 72 Rental Property Permit Program) ($50) is required; occupancy taxes apply.
