Short-Term Rental Program Development Project

Status:

May 17, 2023 public meeting on the presentation of the proposed Short-term Rental Program! View the presentation materials, the draft text language, the meeting video at https://www.livehostvisitlac.org/.

PROVIDE FEEDBACK BY JUNE 18 via email to [email protected]

Project Description:

Develop a short-term rental (vacation rental) program for Los Alamos County to maximize the benefits of STRs and reduce their drawbacks. The program will include effective regulations and mechanisms to enforce those regulations.

Background:

Communities throughout the region, including Santa Fe, Taos, and Albuquerque, have adopted STR regulations to effectively manage the STRs in their communities.

Short-term rentals are not defined or directly addressed in the County's Code of Ordinances. Some STRs are regulated using the bed & breakfast regulations in the County Code. But STRs are not the same as bed & breakfasts, and some of the existing regulations are not suited to STRs. Meanwhile, the STR owners who have registered their STRs as bed & breakfasts have done so voluntarily, as there is no requirement for STR operators to register with the County. This means that many more STRs likely exist in the community than the County is aware of, and consequently, the County cannot manage them in important ways, such as by ensuring that life-safety regulations are being followed or by collecting taxes that fund the community services.
