Generally Investor friendly
STRs are allowed with proper licensing and zoning conformance, but require multiple steps: Lake County plan review ($150), potential WWTS alteration ($150), zoning permit, building notification if applicable, state lodging tax registration, and an annual public accommodation license ($100–$250). No hard citywide caps; only zoning and wastewater capacity limits restrict density; enforcement is complaint‑driven with clear standards, keeping compliance moderate but not prohibitive.
