Challenging to Investors
Short‑term rentals are not explicitly regulated, leaving legality to underlying zoning and creating a regulatory gray area; no city‑specific permits or caps are in place, but investors must confirm zoning allowances, satisfy building and fire codes, and monitor emerging county occupancy‑tax/inspection rules, which together increase uncertainty and compliance complexity.
