Oswego Village Board members are taking another look at regulating short-term home rentals for temporary guests through companies like Airbnb and Vrbo.
Trustees as a committee of the whole recently had a discussion about some of the options including imposing a $2,000 annual registration fee for owners of the homes being used for short-term rentals, and creating a minimum three-day or three-night length of stay for the units.
Some trustees thought the proposed $2,000 annual registration fee was excessive, while others acknowledged they have enjoyed using home rentals when they are out of town. Several residents have raised concerns regarding short-term rentals and have requested the village consider regulations, Zenner said. On the other hand, some residents are supportive, he said.Village staff members have proposed establishing a minimum length of stay per rental, such as a minimum of three days or three nights, to deter one-night events or parties at the homes.
The proposed registration would require an annual inspection of the property to determine if there are any code violations, and there would be a $2,000 annual fee.
