Waterloo Regulations

STRs are allowed under the general Rental Housing Program with a simple online registration ($25/unit) and a known annual cycle, no explicit caps, and a neutral supportive tone; the main friction is the non-owner-occupied requirement, responsible local agent mandate, and periodic inspections that add moderate cost/compliance steps.
