Michiana adopts moratorium on new short-term rental applications through Jan. 1, 2026
Summary
After residents raised concerns about short-term rentals at a planning workshop, council adopted a moratorium on new short-term rental applications through Jan. 1, 2026, with existing rentals grandfathered.
The Village of Michiana council voted unanimously Aug. 8 to adopt a moratorium on new short-term rental applications until Jan. 1, 2026. The motion, moved by Mike Botelho and seconded by Nancy Thill, leaves existing short-term rentals grandfathered while the village completes its Master Plan work.
Council members framed the moratorium as a temporary measure to allow the Master Plan process to address resident concerns. "Planning Workshop was well attended. Short-term rentals identified as a primary concern for residents," the minutes record as context for the motion. No enforcement details or follow-up timelines beyond the Jan. 1, 2026 end date were recorded in the meeting minutes.
