Planning officials, commission address short‑term rental fire‑safety inspection gap
Summary
Planning and Zoning raised a gap in fire-safety inspections for short‑term rentals; the commission agreed to have county staff (Corey Auger) temporarily perform inspections and not penalize property owners who have already engaged with the office.
Planning and Zoning representatives told the Daggett County Commission that a shortage of certified fire-safety inspectors is delaying short‑term rental approvals. Chad Reed and Steve Forbes said that until the county hires or certifies an inspector, county staff member Corey Auger will perform inspections to prevent delays for property owners who have contacted Planning and Zoning.
Commissioners said rentals that have reached out and are actively working on inspections will not be penalized for the agency delay; those who have not engaged may face late fees. The change was discussed as interim relief while the county explores longer-term code or staffing solutions.
