Council Amends Short-Term Rental Ordinance

On December 8th, City Council voted to amend the short-term rental ordinance to allow for non-primary residences to be registered.  The amended ordinance also now allows for un-hosted stays.  Registrations for primary residence short-term rentals (STRs) are currently being accepted. 

Because the ordinance caps the amount of non-primary residences that can operate, initial registrations for non-primary residences will first be determined by a random drawing lottery.  Details of that lottery are forthcoming.
