Montgomery Selectboard releases draft Short-Term Rental Registry ordinance
Summary
A draft ordinance from the Montgomery Selectboard would require registration of short-term rentals, set insurance and safety rules, impose occupancy and parking limits, and create a civil-penalty enforcement scheme to balance tourism with long-term housing needs.
The Montgomery Selectboard released a draft "Short-Term Rental Registry Ordinance" establishing a registration process for short-term rentals in the town.
The ordinance says its purpose is to "seek to balance the well-established practice of renting dwelling units to the traveling, transient, and visiting public with the needs of ensuring an adequate supply of long-term housing" and includes definitions, registration steps, operating requirements, and penalties. It cites authority under Chapters 59 and 61 of Title 24 of the Vermont Statutes Annotated, specifically 24 V.S.A. §§ 1971 and 2291(15) and (29).
