Challenging to Investors
Short‑term rentals are legal but new permits are paused by a moratorium through Sept. 1, 2026, imposing a hard barrier to entry while the city studies tighter caps and rules. Compliance costs and processes are moderate ($477 registration, annual renewal, insurance, business license, TOT), and the city can deny permits for concentration, with revocation after three violations. The result is a known but constrained framework that deters new investment.
