Can you BnB it in Woodside?
No STR ordinanceWoodside's code has no short-term rental rules and no transient occupancy tax. The zoning code lists permitted and conditional uses per district in section 153.107, which could not be read here, so a buyer should confirm with the town whether renting a home for short stays counts as a permitted residential use.
