Lynn Township says short‑term rental operators who don’t respond will face notices, magistrate referral; units established before 2020 grandfathered
Summary
Zoning Officer Ryan Wessner told the board initial compliance letters have been mailed; properties that ignore follow‑up notices will be issued formal violations and referred to the magistrate. Solicitor Marc Fisher clarified units in operation before 2020 are grandfathered.
Zoning Officer and BCO Ryan Wessner told the board on June 11 that the township has sent initial letters to operators of short‑term rentals and has received some responses. For properties that do not reply, the township plans to issue formal notices of violation; unresolved matters will be referred to the magistrate for enforcement.
Solicitor Marc Fisher advised the board that short‑term rentals established before 2020 will be treated as grandfathered uses under the township's current interpretation, meaning they will not be subject to new licensing requirements applied going forward. The board did not take a separate formal vote on an ordinance at the meeting.
