Summary

Town Manager Rob Gaiotti reported 35 short-term rental units are registered in Dorset, with an estimated 15–20 more visible on listing portals that have not yet registered; additional formal communications will be sent and some owners have objected to fees.

Town Manager Rob Gaiotti told the Selectboard that 35 short-term rental (STR) units have been registered in Dorset under the town's registration program. He said the town identified roughly 15–20 additional units on rental portals that had not yet registered and that staff will send more formal communications to those owners.

Gaiotti said the rental software has generally been useful; a couple of owners have complained about paying the registration fee, but most have had no issues. The board did not take additional formal action at this meeting beyond the update; staff will continue outreach to encourage registration compliance.
