Very Investor friendly
Short-term rentals are clearly permitted citywide with no city zoning overlay or separate STR permit; investors only need a standard business license, state accommodations tax (2%) and county tax (3%), and $1M liability insurance. Fees are straightforward and revenue-based, there are no occupancy caps or zone restrictions, and the city’s tone is supportive with routine, transparent enforcement.
