Generally Investor friendly
Fountain explicitly allows short‑term rentals citywide with a clear $100 annual permit and a defined path to legal operation, keeping compliance straightforward and cost‑effective. The framework imposes moderate operational rules (one unit per dwelling, up to four units per property, occupancy capped at 15, required inspections, $500k insurance, and ongoing contact/reporting), which are manageable yet non‑trivial. Investor risk remains moderate, and enforcement appears orderly, supporting a friendly but not overly permissive environment.
