Stillwater Regulations
Short‑term rentals are explicitly permitted with clear rules and modest fees ($100 initial, $10 renewal), but require owner operation, zoning verification (only RSS/RSL/RT districts), a 30‑day neighbor notice and possible hearing, and ongoing tax compliance. The city offers supportive guidance and doesn’t impose explicit caps, making compliance manageable yet more complex than a purely open framework.
