Council opens work session on short-term rental changes after audit finds 143 multifamily listings

Leslie Knipe, the town’s director of development and neighborhood services, opened the work‑session discussion on short‑term rentals by summarizing Addison’s current ordinance: any residential unit rented for fewer than 30 days must show two forms of proof of primary residency, register and obtain an annual permit, and remit hotel‑occupancy tax to the town. She told council the ordinance, first introduced in 2019 and reinstated in October 2021, applies to single‑family units in residential districts and has not been amended since.
