Short-Term Rental Regulations

While the Village requires licenses and inspections every three years for standard residential rentals, no provisions exist to allow or regulate STRs within residential areas. These rules apply to all short-term rental platforms (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, etc.) — not just Airbnb specifically. See the official source linked on this page for full requirements.
