I'll try to keep this brief, I have been trying to talk to a lawyer but haven't gotten any response back in the last week.

We are in NC, and by laws cannot have more than 1 accessory dwelling unit (whatever that means). We want to put 2 1 bedroom rentals to generate income. Since we are a farm in the eyes of the state, we are exempt for zoning and rules regarding buildings.

Agritourism is a form of consumer engagement where farms “offer a variety of recreational, educational, and tourism activities to make their finances more resilient” (NC State Extension Tourism). Examples of agritourism: U-Pick berry farms, housing/camping offerings on farms (including farm stays), volunteer opportunities on farms, farm tours, classes and workshops, and seasonal events (hayrides, holiday farm tours). Learn more about Agritourism by checking out the NC State Extension Tourism Department and exploring the resources below.

Do you think it's legal to do this?

Thanks!
