City of Salida Wants Your Input on Short-Term Rental Policy

The City of Salida is conducting a survey on short-term rentals.   

Short-term rentals are residential properties rented for less than 30 consecutive days and have had an impact on both housing cost and availability.   

Short-term rental properties are taxed at a residential rate, hotels and motels are taxed at the much higher commercial rate, creating an unequal playing field. The City of Salida is considering a variety of updates to its current short-term rental policy.   

The City says that the intention of the survey is not to vilify short-term rental license holders but to strike a balance between a specific service that is in demand and other critically important community components, including workforce housing and fairness in commerce.
