DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING & PERMITTING UPDATE

Enforcement has Begun in Resort Zones

No Movement on Administrative Rules for 90 Day Enforcement

NOV and NOO information has been removed from the DPP Website

We have verification that inspectors are now enforcing in resort zones. If you have not registered, you are encouraged to do so. Approx. half those eligible to register have done so.

Although the law currently stands at a 90 day minimum rental period, the injunction allows those operating prior to Ordinance 22-7 to continue operating at the 30 day minimum. DPP will need to create Administrative Rules in order to enforce the 90 day minimum. At this time, DPP has stated they do not have the resources to begin that implementation. We will be keeping a close watch on the creation of Administrative Rules and notify members of any movement on that front. There are some mixed messages out there that EVERYONE must have a 90 day minimum-that is incorrect.

In the past DPP has listed the recipients of NOV’s and NOO’s on their STR website. This past month, that information has been removed. We were able to download that information prior to it being removed from their site. It in unclear if the removal is temporary or influenced by the recent lawsuit filed by Sandra May. We log on at least a few times monthly to see if anything has changed and will alert you as we know more.
