Generally Investor friendly
Short‑term rentals are explicitly permitted under the county’s draft STVR, requiring a county permit, TOT registration, on‑call manager, and operating standards (occupancy/parking limits, quiet hours), but there is no meaningful cap on STRs. Costs and permitting details are unclear, and enforcement carries stiff penalties with ambiguous after‑hours processes, creating moderate compliance burden and compliance risk.
