SMALL DWELLINGS: Don’t let them become Airbnbs

| December 22, 2023 1:00 AM

Allowing small dwellings to be built on large existing lots behind the original home is a good one as long as these aren’t allowed to become short-term rentals.

Another idea for workforce housing is to give long-term rental owners a break. As home prices increased so did the appraisal of long-term rentals. That resulted in increases in rents locally. Give these owners a tax break. Tax them at the original price they paid for that rental as long as they continue to rent to long-term renters. This should last until the house is a rental.
