Winterset Regulations
Short-term rentals are explicitly permitted and must register annually ($10) plus undergo inspections ($50 + $15 per unit) every 2–3 years (annual if multiple re-inspections), which is a known, relatively low-cost compliance pathway. The city’s framework is supportive and lacks caps or zoning bans, making investment feasible though not frictionless. Non-compliance can trigger municipal infractions, so diligent compliance is essential.
