Generally Investor friendly
Lyons clearly permits short‑term rentals citywide, with a straightforward licensing process ($125 fee), clear eligibility paths (primary residence and commercial unit), and no explicit caps. Operational rules (2 adults/bedroom, max 8 guests, 2 vehicles, 5% lodging tax with monthly filing) are moderate and manageable. The town’s supportive tone and defined standards lower compliance risk, though kitchen‑in‑bedrooms bans and on‑site rep requirements add minor friction.
