Comment on short-term Rentals issue paper released for public comment
|
|
Washington County does not currently regulate short-term rentals. But in recent years, several community members have raised concerns with these rentals, including noise, on-street parking, trash and other issues associated with community livability.
The board of Commissioners asked Community Planning staff to prepare
this issue paper as part of the
2019-20 Long Range Planning Work Program. The issue paper, and public comments received before March 26, will help inform the Board's position. The Board will provide direction to staff as part of its April decision on the 2020-21 Long Range Draft Work Program.
