Challenging to Investors
Lewistown Regulations
Short‑term rentals are not explicitly referenced in the ordinance—only “residential rental units” are—so owners must confirm nightly rentals are covered; combined with a local manager requirement, triennial inspections, and stiff penalties ($1,000/day for unlicensed operation, escalating violation fines), the compliance burden and enforcement risk outweigh the low $36 annual license fee and $50k insurance.
