STR Regulations Apply

Registration required; seasonal regulations

Provincetown requires STR registration. Being a tourism-dependent town, regulations are more permissive than Boston but still require compliance.

Permit: Moderate
Grade Impact: Base score of 41/100 would be grade D, but capped at D (41/100) due to regulation risk.
Verified data as of February 2026 · Regulations change frequently
📞 How to Verify
Call the Provincetown City Clerk or Planning & Zoning Department and ask:
1. Are short-term rentals (under 30 days) allowed at [your address]?
2. What permits or licenses are required?
3. Are there owner-occupancy requirements?
4. Any caps on rental nights per year or number of permits?
Many cities have active short-term rentals operating legally with permits — restrictions don't always mean it's impossible.
