Dothan city commissioners have delayed action on regulations for short-term rentals such as those listed on sites like Airbnb.
During their Tuesday meeting, commissioners voted to table action on several agenda items that would have established regulations for such rentals after a question was raised regarding insurance requirements for commercial short-term rentals.
People are also reading… “If an individual has a house and they have an accessory dwelling in the back, they could lease that for short-term rentals,” McDonald said. “We recognize that that’s reality.” Under the proposed regulations, both types of short-term rentals must be licensed with stipulations for quiet times, parking, and the number of guests. Owners of multiple rentals must have each one licensed. But with an STCR, there are additional requirements including proof of commercial general liability insurance with minimum limits of $500,000 per occurrence and $1 million aggregate.
Wood said she’s on board with licensing, lodging tax collections, and making sure people manage their rentals properly. But she said it feels discriminatory to make some requirements for short-term rental property owners and not long-term rental owners, especially when it comes to the commercial liability insurance requirement.
