Best practices for VT communities considering regulation of short-term rentals
-
Collaborate with neighboring towns (Act regionally)
- Vermont towns do not operate in a vacuum. For example, if a town in a ski area prohibits many types of STRs and a neighboring town does not, the number of STRs is likely to grow in the neighboring town.
- Forming agreement among towns in a region before setting municipal STR policy will increase the likelihood of reaching intended outcomes.
