Challenging to Investors
Lakewood Regulations
STRs are explicitly allowed in most residential/mixed-use zones, but investors face multi‑step permits (Type II STR permit, annual business license, RHSP registration), mandatory inspections (city + fire) with 5‑year cycle, and ongoing operational obligations (24‑hour contact, good‑neighbor policy, posting permit/license on all listings, no commercial events, no signs, strict parking). Prohibitions in commercial/industrial areas further narrow options, raising compliance and operational burden.
