Challenging to Investors
Roper's STR regulations are technically legal but heavily constrained by regulatory uncertainty. Traditional vacation rentals lack an explicit pathway and may require zoning interpretation or variance applications, while tourist homes are specifically prohibited as home occupations. The need for special use permits, multiple compliance requirements (building permits, certificates of occupancy, fire safety, health permits), and compatibility assessments create significant operational hurdles and compliance burden that deter investment despite not being completely prohibited.
