SEE UPDATED SHORT-TERM RENTAL ORDINANCE HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nUnder the updated proposal, property owners who rent furnished dwelling units for fewer than 30 consecutive days must register each STR with the town before advertising or hosting guests. Registrations would expire annually and require renewal by May 1 to remain valid. The draft sets clear definitions for what constitutes an STR and identifies the parameters for both initial and renewal registration applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ordinance also emphasizes safety and compliance: owners must maintain adequate liability insurance, provide emergency contact information, and display the assigned registration number in all listings and within the rental unit. Off-street parking requirements and occupancy limits \u2014 typically two individuals per bedroom plus up to two additional guests \u2014 are part of the proposed regulatory framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enforcement provisions under the proposal would allow civil penalties of up to $800 per day for violations and grant the town authority to suspend or revoke registrations for noncompliance. The Planning Commission intends for the ordinance to support local housing stock by regulating STRs without unduly burdening responsible hosts or stifling tourism that benefits local businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The full updated STR ordinance and redlined edits to the prior draft are available on the Town of Montgomery\u2019s official website for public review ahead of future municipal discussion<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
