SB 24-213

Senate Bill 24-213 exempts certain small structures from local county regulations regarding short-term rentals. Specifically, it allows owners of recreational structures in unincorporated areas that don't receive public utilities like water or electricity to rent out their properties for short stays without needing a license from the county. This means such property owners won’t face restrictions or fees imposed by counties on short-term rentals. The bill has been signed into law, so these changes are now official and enforceable.

The bill creates an exception to provides that this authority for the owner or owner's agent of, and with respect to, shall not prohibit or effectively prohibit the short-term rental of any structure located on a parcel in an unincorporated area of a county that does not receive water, heat, electricity, or sanitary sewer services from a public entity and so long as the structure is used primarily for recreational purposes.
