Challenging to Investors
Short-term rentals are explicitly permitted, but Type 2 non‑owner rentals face strict density and separation caps (12.5% unit cap, 300‑ft separation) that require Board of Adjustment hearings and special exceptions. Fees of $300–$450 and tri‑ennial renewals, mandatory monthly HOT filings, and aggressive enforcement (revocation after three citations or tax delinquency) create a material compliance burden and risk for investors.
