A bill for an act relating to city regulation of short-term rental properties.

This bill (SF 2309) removes restrictions that currently prevent Iowa cities from regulating short-term rental properties. Under current law, cities cannot create rules, require permits, or charge fees for properties rented for short terms (like Airbnb). The bill would allow cities to adopt their own regulations, including conditional use permits and license fees, for these rentals. It does not affect similar rules for counties. This change directly impacts cities seeking to manage short-term rentals and property owners operating in those markets.
