Rules vary across Erie. I don't have reliable current information about short-term rental regulations or enforcement reality for Erie, Pennsylvania or Presque Isle, Maine. To provide accurate information about permit requirements, owner-occupancy rules, density limits, and actual enforcement levels (not just what's written in ordinances), I'd need to verify current local regulations and real-world enforcement practices, which I cannot do reliably. I recommend contacting each city's planning/zoning department directly for current requirements and enforcement status. Verify requirements for the property's jurisdiction.
