STR Laws

•STRs are allowed in any residential zoning district and in districts with established residential use except: C-3, L, I- 1, and I-2 districts. However, in connection with submission of the application, each applicant shall acknowledge
that any permit granted by the director under this Article (STR ordinance) does not supersede any property-specific restrictions against short term rentals that may exist under law, agreement, lease, covenant or deed restrictions. •The ordinance uses "blockface," or one side of the street between intersections, in the calculations done to determine (the density) home many STRs are allowed. • Type 1 - no density limitation
• Type 2 - allowed by right, up to 12.5% of units on blockface. Only one is allowed by right on a blockface or multi- family unit. If a property is in a multi-family building (has 5 or more units), Limit is 12.5% of the total number of units on property. • When the density limitation is met or exceeded, a special exception for a permit is needed from the Board of Adjustment to operate a Type 2 STR. The fee for properties with a Homestead Exemption is $400 and $600 for all others. Applications are submitted through the BuildSA online portal.

Top Performing Properties

Select bedroom under listing and then upscale and luxury under performance

tend to be downtown near riverwalk

I think we could crush with sauna, cold plunge, and maybe theater in longer stays?
and can beat out most with design
