Ordinance BL2025-523 was adopted, as amended, to clarify and update Title 17 of the Metropolitan Code of Laws, the Zoning Ordinance, specifically pertaining to Short Term Rental (STR) properties. The amendments include refined definitions, specifying permitted zones for STRs, and outlining operational requirements. A key aspect of the ordinance is the addition of specific provisions governing Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) when used as STRs. Furthermore, the ordinance introduces stricter mechanisms for enforcement and details penalties for non-compliance, aiming to ensure better adherence to the updated regulations across the city.
