Harrisonburg City Council Considering Regulating Short Term Rentals
Scott P. Rogers
Do you have an opinion on whether short term rentals (such as via AirBNB) should be permitted and/or regulated in the City of Harrisonburg? If so, you should show up on Tuesday, September 11th for the public hearing on the topic.
More from today's Daily News Record article...
- "The proposed changes to short-term rental regulations would allow guests to stay in a lodging area for up to 14 consecutive days, and rentals would have to provide a parking space for each guest room."
- "Owners of short-term rentals would be required to obtain a special-use permit to operate, have a business license and go through an inspection."
- "The Planning Commission recommended the amendments on Aug. 8 by a 6-0 vote."
- "Staff believes by making these amendments, it will provide opportunities to allow property owners and occupants to rent dwellings on a transient basis with minimal negative impact to the community."
