Staff says short‑term rental ordinance rollout largely successful after platform takedowns and targeted citations
Summary
City staff reported that outreach and partnership with platforms (Airbnb/VRBO) removed most short‑term rental listings; a small number of citations led to compliance and one remaining unique duplex listing is addressed as compliant when listed >30 days.
Staff told commissioners the short‑term rental (STR) ordinance that took effect earlier in 2026 has produced high voluntary compliance after coordinated outreach to listing platforms and targeted enforcement. "We've gotten most everyone to take down their listings," a staff member said, noting the city worked with Airbnb and VRBO and sent two initial notices before pursuing citations for persistent violators.
The staff update said three to five citations prompted compliance in the few remaining cases; one duplex was unique because the resident leases the lower unit and has listed it for longer than 30 days, which the staff judged to be compliant. Commissioners asked staff to follow up on addresses raised at city council and to continue monitoring. The record notes that initial notices were sent in January–February 2026 and that the rollout included platform reporting to identify listings for removal.
