Short Term Rental Regulation Updates

Jefferson County Planning & Zoning is completing an update to the Short Term Rental regulations to streamline the review process and reduce noncompliance. In order to adequately update the regulations to meet the needs of the community, Planning & Zoning will be holding community meetings to hear from you. 

The following community meeting will be held to hear public comments:

  • September 12 - virtual at 3 PM

Past Meetings: 

  • August 16 - virtual at 6 PM
  • August 30 - in person at 6 PM
    • Hearing Room One

A draft of the regulation will be published for community review once the community meetings have taken place.

A Short-Term Rental is currently defined in the Jefferson County Zoning Resolution as: a single family detached dwelling or portion thereof that contains not more than 5 bedrooms, that is used for, or advertised and available for use for, accommodations or lodging of guests paying a fee or other compensation, for a period of fewer than 30 consecutive days.
