Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI)
A Place Like No Other
-
Territory-Wide: No uniform STR law—local control via CNMI Dept. of Commerce. Lodging tax applies through CNMI Dept. of Finance, but STR specifics are scarce online. Post-Typhoon Yutu (2018), tourism’s rebounding.
-
Saipan: STR hub—requires a CNMI Business License and zoning from Dept. of Public Lands. No explicit STR rules found—small pop (47,000) keeps it informal.Â
-
Notes: CNMI’s economic dip (-19.6% GDP, 2018) leans on STRs—regs likely lag behind demand.
