Mission Woods council declines short-term rental action for FIFA World Cup after resident survey
Summary
A council survey on short-term rentals during the FIFA World Cup 2026 saw roughly 25% turnout; 55% of respondents opposed regulation, 37.5% supported it and 7.5% were unsure, and the council decided not to pursue new rules.
Mayor Erica Hartley presented the results of a resident survey on short-term rentals during the FIFA World Cup 2026, reporting about a 25% turnout. According to the survey, 55% of respondents said no to short-term rentals, 37.5% said yes, and 7.5% were unsure. After discussion, the council concluded it was not worth the city’s time and money to draft regulations when a majority of surveyed residents opposed the idea.
Council members did not move forward with any ordinance or referral on the topic at the Jan. 6 meeting. The decision leaves the city without new short-term-rental rules tied to the World Cup; any future action would require new direction and likely further outreach.
