Short-term Rental Regulations
Summary
The city is finishing rules for short-term rentals, but state law prevents capping their number or restricting where they can operate. The plan focuses on house rules (parking, noise), a public map of permit locations, and a dedicated inspector working with neighborhoods. Draft ordinance language goes to the Plan Commission on February 23.
