Long County commissioners approve short-term rentals ordinance and update personnel handbook
Summary
The Board approved Ordinance 2026-03 to regulate short-term rentals in unincorporated Long County and adopted the Long County Personnel Policy Handbook Rev. 2026.
The Long County Board of Commissioners approved Ordinance 2026-03, a short-term rental ordinance that establishes permitting and business-licensing requirements for vacation homes, cabins, RVs and similar lodging in unincorporated parts of the county.
The ordinance is intended to ensure short-term rental properties meet basic safety standards, obtain business licenses and collect applicable taxes consistent with hotel and motel occupancy tax rules. Commissioner James Craft moved to approve Ordinance 2026-03; Commissioner John Reddish seconded the motion, which passed.
The Board also approved the Long County Personnel Policy Handbook Rev. 2026 on a motion by Commissioner Craft and second by Commissioner Benji Strickland. The handbook revision was presented as part of the Board's consent/old-business agenda and was approved by vote.
These approvals were made during the Board's June meeting; no public opposition to the ordinance or the personnel policy was recorded in the meeting minutes.
