Navigating Short-Term Rental Policies and Real Estate Deals

A resident of Washington County, Utah, has written a letter to the editor highlighting the shortcomings of the county's Short Term Rental Provisions and Good Neighbor Policies. The author argues that the policies are unenforceable and that the county needs to clarify and replace them with enforceable ones. The author also suggests that the county needs to educate its staff and be more transparent about tracking incidents, violations, and complaints. The author calls for an end to "grandfathering" or "existing, nonconforming" STR licenses and for more protection for residential neighborhoods.
