## Resource

Charleston County is rolling out a new twist on short-term rental rules to get a real handle on how many guests can actually crash at a place—by forcing owners to list every sleeping spot, even if it’s not an official bedroom. Think finished garage rooms or cozy nooks: they’ll now count if people are using them as beds. To keep things fair and avoid parking chaos, each extra sleeping area will require proof of an off-street parking spot—especially in tight-lot neighborhoods. This change mainly affects new rentals, with existing ones getting a check-up during annual renewals. The Planning Commission already gave it the green light; now it’s up to the County Council—with a rollout expected in 6-8 weeks—as part of a bigger push to modernize land use rules.
