Short-term rentals can’t hide in Truckee
By Sage Sauerbrey, Moonshine Ink
Short-term rentals have become a linchpin component in the housing conversation, and communities across the West have had very different ways of facing the issue.
Jackson Hole, Wyo., recently banned short-term rentals, San Francisco has adopted a series of different regulations, and Mammoth Lakes only allows short-term rentals in specifically zoned areas. Last year, Truckee searched for a solution and reached out to Ulrik Binzer and his newly founded company Host Compliance, and Placer County followed suit shortly after.
Host Compliance analyzes a set of 17 different public data sources to investigate where properties are being used as short-term rentals so that the town can contact them and bring them into compliance.
