Planning officials to contact unlicensed Airbnb host under town code Chapter 15
Summary
Planning and zoning staff reported an Airbnb rental operating without a local short‑term rental license. The board directed staff to send the short‑term rental application and reminded members that operating without a license can be charged as a class B misdemeanor under Chapter 15 of the town code.
Planning and zoning reported that an Airbnb listing appears to be operating in town without the required short‑term rental business license. The host’s listing has reviews dating back to October, and the planning board asked town staff to send a business license and the short‑term rental application to the operator.
Officials noted that the town code (Chapter 15) requires short‑term rentals to be licensed and that continued operation without a license could result in a Class B misdemeanor charge. Staff said they would draft and send a letter requesting the operator complete the license application, and will have the application posted on the town website.
The planning discussion also noted other property owners who have not completed required licenses for accessory structures or rentals; staff said they will follow up on outstanding compliance items.
