Frequently Asked Questions

How much did typical Baltimore listings earn last year?

Typical Baltimore listings earned about $17,408 last year from 1,413 active rentals, per AirROI's trailing twelve months from August 2025 through July 2026 — a $159 average night, 38.8 percent occupancy, and $63 RevPAR. Year over year is down 3.7 percent, with active supply up 13.8 percent. An older hub brief had printed $17,648 on roughly 1,460 listings from a prior window; this pass uses the current extract. Keep Annapolis and Towson on their own separate lines.


When is Baltimore's strongest month?

May is the busiest revenue month, with August and October close behind. February is the slowest month, and occupancy itself bottoms out in July. Confirm current fees and rules at the city desk before you advertise a peak-season stay.


Do I need a Baltimore STR permit in 2026?

Yes. Call Baltimore DHCD Property Licensing at 410-396-3575, 417 E. Fayette Street — DHCD main line is 443-984-5757. The city's STR license is $200 per dwelling unit, biennial, and a person may generally only be issued a license for their permanent residence, with a narrow path for an additional unit. Don't mix Baltimore County fees into a city-of-Baltimore file — apply through the city's own STR portal and confirm current status directly.


Is a 30-night minimum the same as occupancy?

No. About 404 listings, 28.6 percent of the 1,413 active rentals, set a 30-night minimum, but the typical stay across the market is still 7.6 nights with a 38-day lead. A 30-night filter is a platform setting a host chose, not a measure of how full the calendar runs.


Should I hire a manager in Baltimore or on the satellites?

Professionally managed share in Baltimore is 4.5 percent, with Evolve the largest single manager at 19 listings — a notably low managed share for a market this size. Annapolis rewards its own capital-city copy and Towson rewards its own county copy; don't buy one pitch for three occasions.


Who books a Baltimore stay?

Most guests arrive from New York, then Baltimore itself, with a typical stay of 7.6 nights and a 38-day lead. Urban guests want Fells Point and the harbor; Annapolis guests are booking a capital-city stay, and Towson guests are booking a county stay.


Can I use Annapolis' numbers as the Baltimore year?

No. Baltimore's average night was $159 across 1,413 listings, and this pass didn't mint a dedicated Annapolis AirROI extract to compare directly — Annapolis runs its own market with its own capital-city demand. Keep the $17,408 Baltimore figure on its own line.


What is Baltimore's STR license fee?

The city's STR license is $200 per dwelling unit, on a biennial cycle. Call 410-396-3575, 417 E. Fayette Street, to confirm current status before applying.


What should a buyer packet carry for a Baltimore parcel?

Cite the $17,408 typical year on 1,413 city listings, note supply up 13.8 percent against year-over-year revenue down 3.7 percent, and list the Property Licensing number, 410-396-3575. Keep Annapolis and Towson unlabeled rather than inventing a figure for either.


Where do I confirm the city desk in Baltimore?

Call Baltimore DHCD Property Licensing at 410-396-3575, 417 E. Fayette Street, or DHCD main at 443-984-5757. That's where the $200 biennial license, the permanent-residence requirement, and current STR portal status all get confirmed for 2026.
