Challenging to Investors
Short‑term rentals are explicitly allowed citywide with no caps, but they must register, collect a 7% local HOT (plus 6% state tax for 13% total), and file quarterly—plus the city’s Avenu monitoring adds a $5,000 setup and $255 annual per‑property fees, and recent feedback cites unclear communication and retroactive enforcement. This makes compliance moderately burdensome despite legality and supportive city tone.
