Muscatine Regulations
STRs are clearly permitted in Muscatine under the same rental housing framework as long-term rentals, requiring a Rental Facility License with mandatory inspections and safety compliance every 3 years. While the permitting process involves moderate costs and requirements (application 30 days prior, inspection fees, reinspection fees), there are no city-specific caps, restrictions, or prohibitive barriers identified. The framework provides a known, manageable compliance process without excessive operational constraints.
