Challenging to Investors
While STRs are technically legal and unregulated in 2025, operating 'at your own risk' without zoning approval creates uncertainty, and the city is actively implementing stricter regulations (hotel tax, safety inspections, parking rules) with progressive penalties and revocation powers. The proposed rules, including location restrictions near schools and single-family neighborhoods, along with evolving compliance requirements, pose manageable but significant challenges for investors.
