County renews Granicus contract for short-term rental monitoring
Summary
Steuben County approved a one-year renewal of its Granicus contract to monitor short-term rentals, budgeting up to $52,000 for 2026. Staff said the program has increased revenue and noted an RFP will be required after the next renewal.
The finance committee approved a one-year renewal of the county's contract with Granicus for short-term rental identification and management, with a "not to exceed" amount of $52,000 budgeted for 2026. A staff member summarized the program's results, saying the county had seen a "significant increase in our revenue" since onboarding the vendor and that the renewal is consistent with prior annual costs.
Committee members asked whether the contract was charged as a percentage or a fixed fee and whether the county would need an RFP after the next year; staff said the initial implementation year carried higher costs and that an RFP would be required after the current renewal period. The committee approved the renewal by voice vote.
