Johnson City, Tennessee is a popular destination for Airbnb stays due to its unique blend of outdoor activities, cultural attractions, and scenic beauty. Visitors come to explore the nearby Appalachian Mountains, experience the city's vibrant music and arts scene, and indulge in local cuisine and craft beer.
Johnson City experiences seasonal demand driven by its location in the Appalachian Mountains and proximity to East Tennessee State University. A typical listing recorded a 60% average occupancy rate between 2023-08 - 2024-07, with peak periods during summer months when outdoor recreation and mountain tourism drive higher occupancy and rates. Fall brings strong demand from leaf-peepers exploring the Blue Ridge Mountains and visitors attending university events. Spring sees moderate increases as hiking and outdoor activities resume, while winter months maintain baseline demand from university visitors, medical tourists accessing regional healthcare facilities, and occasional winter sports enthusiasts. The combination of university calendar, medical tourism, and mountain recreation creates diverse seasonal patterns throughout the year.
Johnson City does not have a sweeping land-use ban on short-term rentals but treats STRs under its Hotel/Motel Transient Occupancy Privilege Tax language and enforces occupancy-tax collection; hosts should expect to follow local occupancy tax rules and standard safety/code requirements and monitor recent Tennessee guidance about the first 30 days being subject to local occupancy tax. (Johnson City)

STR owners must collect and remit Johnson City’s hotel/motel (transient occupancy) taxes — local rates apply and Tennessee updates since 2025 affect how the first 30 days are taxed. (BNB Calc)
Medium — taxation is explicit and enforced (occupancy tax clarified to include STRs) but Johnson City lacks a deep layers of zoning bans, so compliance is mostly administrative (tax registration, reporting). (Johnson City)
