Short-Term Rental Notes
✓ STR Allowed — Township Approval Required
All three Briar Hill communities allow short-term rentals at the association level. Paupack Township regulates short-term rentals under an ordinance adopted in 2023 and amended in 2024, and a new short-term rental needs township approval before it can operate. Depending on the property, that can include a Conditional Use approval under the township zoning ordinance, which involves a public hearing. Approval is not automatic, so each property must qualify on its own. Buyers should confirm the requirements for the specific property with Paupack Township and the relevant association before purchasing.
