What’s in it

AI summary Currently, cities in Iowa are not allowed to make rules or charge fees for short-term rental properties. This bill would change that law so cities can create their own regulations and permit requirements for these rentals. However, these rules would still apply differently to counties.1

Read the official explanation

This bill relates to city regulation of short-term rental properties. Under current law, a city shall not adopt or enforce any regulation, restriction, or other ordinance, including a conditional use permit requirement, relating to short-term rental properties within the city. A city also shall not require a license or permit fee for a short-term rental property in the city. The bill strikes these prohibitions. The bill does not strike similar prohibitions on counties (Code section 331.301(17)).
