Vacation Rental Policy Changes

By Zach Friend, County Supervisor 2nd District

ver the last few years the County has been working to address concerns surrounding vacation rentals. Complaints of noise, parking issues and even neighborhood character are to be balanced with the interest of providing rental stock for visthe growth of second home ownership in our area (with many being used as vacation rentals), more rental platforms (such as Airbnb) and increases in housing costs (and decreased long term rental options) there has been more calls for increased regulation.
