In July, 2025, Pocono Township voted unanimously to raise STR registration fees from $500 to $2,500.
For short-term rental owners, that’s not just an inconvenience—it’s an existential threat. If one township can impose fees this extreme, others will follow. And when that happens, owning and operating a vacation rental in the Poconos becomes unsustainable.
This is exactly why the Poconos Association of Vacation Rental Owners (Poconos VRO) exists:
To advocate for fair, reasonable regulations.
To push back against government overreach.
To protect the rights of responsible STR owners.
But advocacy takes resources. Showing up at township meetings, building legal and communications strategies, keeping members informed—this work doesn’t happen without funding.
✅ Donate today. Your contribution fuels our ability to fight on behalf of ALL STR owners.
✅ Every dollar matters. Whether it’s $50, $100, or more, your support ensures we have the tools we need to win these battles.
✅ Strength in numbers. When we stand together, townships and policymakers take notice.
Think of it this way: a $100 donation is less than 2 nights of booking fees—but it could protect your ability to operate for years to come.
If this concerns you as much as it concerns us, don’t wait. Donate now and become part of the effort to keep short-term rentals strong in the Poconos.
