SF 341 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the regulation of short-term rental properties by counties and cities.

SF 341 prohibits counties and cities with populations over 75,000 from regulating short-term rental properties. Specifically, it bans these jurisdictions from imposing permit requirements, license fees, or other restrictions on short-term rentals, and classifies such properties as residential for zoning purposes. The bill applies only to larger jurisdictions (populations >75,000), leaving smaller counties and cities unaffected. This directly affects property owners and operators in qualifying cities and counties by limiting local government oversight of short-term rentals. The bill does not create new regulations but restricts existing local authority over this housing type.
