Tybee Island amends ordinance for short-term vacation rentals and increases fees

Tybee Island amends ordinance for short-term vacation rentals and increases fees

After working closely with representatives of the short-term vacation rental industry, the Tybee City Council approved amendments to the city’s short-term vacation rental ordinance just in time to implement it for the coming year.

Amy Gaster, owner of Tybee Vacation Rentals and member of Tybee Island Association of Rental Agents (TIARA) said, “Now that the City has experienced its first year in managing STVR registrations and other matters, they have communicated openly about the need to amend the ordinance to allow for more dedicated City  resources. I believe the proposed changes are positive for the City staff, the community, and STVR homeowners. We are grateful that, unlike many cities across the country (including Savannah), there were no onerous restrictions being proposed as part of this revision. Even though the fee will increase from $25 per year to $100 per year, property owners can choose to save money due to no longer being required to pay for land-line phone service (Tybee’s 911 system can track mobile emergency calls).

The city will use the revenue to fund city staff members who will work on STVR administrative functions as well as enforcement and compliance matters. In 2017 the city received around 1,100 STVR registrations and needs further staff support to manage this process.  TIARA Managers look forward to working collaboratively with the new city staff to positively manage the specific needs of vacation rental properties, their owners, our guests, and the community.

“After two hurricanes in two years with many property damages, we are all looking forward to a smooth and successful 2018.”

The city’s new vacation rental ordinance, which takes effect on January 1, 2018, increases the annual registration fee for short-term rentals from $25 to $100 per year per home. With more than 1,100 short-term rentals on Tybee Island, this will add more than $82,000 to the city’s annual budget. The additional revenue from the increased fee will provide funding for two new city employees; a part-time administrator position to manage the registration and renewal process as well as an additional marshal to help with enforcement on nights and weekends.

The previous requirement that each property have a landline telephone on site was eliminated from the ordinance. The original intention was to provide phone service in case a guest needed to call 911. However, this proved difficult to enforce and because most travelers use mobile phones, it was difficult to know if it was a necessary requirement.

The annual registration fees are due January 1. However homeowners and managers will have a 90 day grace period to pay the increased fee if necessary.

    The regulation effort has to be based on this constitutional right. Law making bodies has to set not a uniform rule but an equal rule that protects the property rights of homeowners and its neighbors. We have to identify if the chaos in the area is of solely caused by vacation rentals or simply if the existence of them are already been observed. Find measures in which vacation rental business runs in accordance with the regulations set. Other states were able to manage vacation rental business fostering economic growth on those cities. Focusing mainly on its impact to homeowners associations and its neighbors are relatively issues losing the opportunity of vacation rental business to grow. We have various properties Honolulu for short term rentals. Another great site that helps vacation rental owners find travelers is Rentalo.com — You can add your listing for free and then pay a fee when booked — check details at http://rentalo.com/vacation…

Heather Weiermann @travlinsunshine

After growing up on the beaches of San Diego, Heather graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz with a Community Studies degree. Heather began marketing and managing vacation homes in 1999 as a favor to a friend who owned a beautiful home in La Jolla, California. Over the course of 14 years, Heather’s business, Southern California Vacation Rentals, grew to become one of San Diego’s leading vacation rental companies. In 2013 Heather sold her company, and after helping with the transition of ownership, Heather knew immediately she wanted to help other vacation rental managers realize the same results she found after implementing The NAVIS Way at her own business. Throughout her tenure, Heather has supported the vacation rental industry and other vacation rental managers by volunteering on local, state and national tourism and vacation rental committees and advisory councils. Heather served on the Board of Directors and as an Executive Committee Member of the Vacation Rental Managers Association from 2010 - 2014. Heather also founded the California Vacation Rental Managers Alliance and the San Diego Vacation Rental Managers Alliance. Both organizations were created to bring a much needed voice and public awareness to the region's vacation rental industry.
