Generally Investor friendly
Short‑term rentals appear permitted citywide (no dedicated STR ban), with primary requirements being a standard business license/occupation tax, basic parking/building compliance, and state tax registration. There are no explicit caps on STR units; enforcement risks are limited to general zoning, parking, and safety standards rather than hostile restrictions. Uncertainty about any local occupancy taxes and possible special‑exception approvals in some residential districts adds minor compliance complexity.
