Generally Investor friendly
STRs are explicitly allowed under the city’s rental‑dwelling program with a clear permitting/inspection pathway and no published caps; requirements are moderate (state sales/lodging licenses, taxes, inspections) and compliance is manageable. However, fees are not fully detailed and the city signals potential STR‑specific rule changes, creating some evolving risk.
