Warrens board discusses exploring short-term rental licensing; implementation would take about a year
Summary
Trustees discussed whether to pursue a licensing fee for short-term rentals (e.g., VRBO/Airbnb); staff estimated roughly a year to implement any licensing program and no ordinance or fee was adopted at the meeting.
The Village Board discussed the prospect of establishing a licensing fee for short-term rental platforms such as VRBO or Airbnb, but did not adopt any ordinance or fee structure. The minutes record that research was preliminary and staff estimated the process would take about a year if the village decided to pursue it.
No draft fee schedule, enforcement mechanism, or estimated revenue was presented at the Feb. 11 meeting. Trustees left the matter for further study; the minutes indicate staff will continue research and report back with details should the board choose to proceed to ordinance drafting.
