Our second annual Conference on Short-term Rental Regulations will be held via Zoom and will feature attendees from all sides of the short-term rental (STR) industry: city regulators, the travel industry and vacation rental managers.

“As communities grapple with the impacts of COVID on the local economy the short-term rental industry has been a bright spot for local as many professionally managed properties are seeing increased usage,” said Matt Curtis, CEO of Smart City Policy Group. “There are very few examples of communities that achieve compliance with local rules and taxes. We bring all sides together to understand the evolving industry, traveler trends and solutions for compliance.”

In the past ten years thousands of cities around the world have discussed, and created, regulations for short-term rentals – sometimes called vacation rentals and often identified by the well-known industry brand, AirBnB. Concerns vary from city to city but the core complaints focus on tax remittance, housing and zoning impacts, noise and parties and more.

This summit will give participants an opportunity to leave with key understanding of this evolving and nuanced industry, best practice regulation examples, and the experiences of stakeholders who have found successful, compliant, solutions.
