McCall directs staff to halt enforcement of short-term rental rules inconsistent with new state law
Summary
Facing the July 1 effective date of House Bill 583, McCall council directed staff to cease enforcing any city short-term rental code provisions that conflict with the state law and scheduled an ordinance update and public hearing.
McCall — With House Bill 583 taking effect July 1, the McCall City Council on June 18 directed staff to cease enforcement of city short-term rental code provisions that are inconsistent with the new state law and scheduled a public hearing on ordinance updates.
Michelle Greenwalt, Community and Economic Development Director, told council the item was added late due to the state law’s timeline and the council confirmed a public hearing will accompany ordinance changes at a subsequent meeting. Council member Mathezic moved and the council unanimously directed staff to cease enforcement effective July 1, 2026 of any inconsistent short-term rental provisions.
Council’s action is procedural: it does not itself rewrite local code but pauses city enforcement where state law preempts local provisions and allows staff time to prepare ordinance language for council consideration and public comment.
Next steps: staff will prepare ordinance language reflecting HB 583 and schedule a public hearing; the council’s direction will remain in effect until the city adopts updated code language.
