Staff outlines comprehensive short-term rental code overhaul; rule changes already adopted by City Council

Dec 9, 2025

Midway staff summarized a comprehensive rewrite of short-term rental rules (moved to business licensing), including removal of a 48-hour minimum stay, one-hour property-manager complaint response, joint liability for owners and managers, neighbor consent for shared-driveway units, posted contact/safety info and occupancy/parking limits.

The full story

City staff told the planning commission that Midway has comprehensively revamped its short-term rental (vacation/ nightly rental) rules, moving enforcement and licensing provisions into the business-licensing section of the code rather than Title 16. Staff said Midway was among the first Utah communities to adopt a short-term rental code in about 2006 and that changes reflect both experience and recent state-law shifts.
