Buffalo Regulations
Davenport permits short‑term rentals under a standard rental property license with annual renewal, inspections tied to the International Property Maintenance Code, and a moderate licensing fee (~$150). Taxes are structured and manageable (5% state hotel/motel tax plus local lodging, approximating ~7%), and Iowa law prevents outright bans while allowing reasonable regulation. Minor uncertainty on permit type/fees and operational rules keeps this short of a full A.
