Generally Investor friendly
STRs are clearly legal, but investors must obtain a $100 city license and a $400 county zoning permit, plus a county health inspection and state licensing/taxes; the 10‑night operation threshold acts as a cap, and neighbor notifications up to 300 ft add steps, yet the process is predictable and manageable.
