Virginia Beach Regulations

Virginia Beach allows STRs only in limited zones (Sandbridge by right, Oceanfront Overlay with CUP) and elsewhere STRs are prohibited, so location risk is high; while permitting is a known process, the $500 annual fee, required CUP in the Overlay, inspections, insurance, and parking plan add cost/complexity that can deter investment.
