Yep, it would not be exceptional to see short-term rental regulations in zoning codes in the US. I'm guessing in some states you'd have legal challenges if you required owner occupancy or even perhaps establishment of residency or domicile, but it's fairly universal in this country that you could write zoning laws dealing with transient occupancy and accessory or primary uses that resemble hotels, guesthouses, B&Bs, etc.

Yeah, it's a kind of zoning. But a quite strict one. And one that's not easily abused.

For instance, if you're tax based in Oslo, you would have to "move" to buy a family home in my city and use it as a cabin. And that move on paper has implications. Where you can vote, where your children can go to kindergarten or school, how you're taxed etc. So people don't do it.
