Reasoning for Removal of Nightly Rental Regulations
Development Guidance Code
• Nightly Rental is a key part of the economic engine for the tourism driven local economy
of Taney County, MO. Restrictive nightly rental regulations may actually damage the
local economy which relies heavily on nightly rental units to serve the estimated 7.2
million visitors that visit the Tri-Lakes area annually. The area simply does not have an
adequate number of lodging rooms in hotels to meet this demand. Therefore the demand
is met by a large number of lodging sources, including nightly rental.
• Requiring a Division III Special-Use Permit for every Nightly Rental may simply not be
feasible with current Planning Department Staffing levels. For example the Vacation
Rental By Owner (VRBO) website lists 1,327 rentals for Branson, 1,099 rentals for
Hollister and 1,027 rentals for Ridgedale. Many of these advertised rentals are single
family residences within subdivisions that did not receive an original Division III Permit
specifically authorizing nightly rental. VRBO is now one of many website that have
been established to advertise the nightly rental of properties on a worldwide basis.
Recent research from Pew shows that approximately a year ago, only 27% of Americans
were familiar with the concept of the “Sharing Economy”. According to this same
survey, today, nearly 60% of U.S. travelers are aware of nightly rental as a lodging
option.
• The Planning Commission itself may simply not have the time that will be required to
hear each of the thousands of unheard Division III Special-Use Permit applications for
nightly rental properties within the unincorporated portion of Taney County.
• In a number of court cases throughout the United States nightly rental / short term rental
has been viewed by the courts as a residential use versus a commercial use; much like the
monthly rental of properties, which most counties and cities do not regulate.
• If Planning & Zoning were to not regulate nightly rental, complaints of illegal activities
would still be handled by Sherriff s Office and other enforcement activities would be left
to individual civil action and homeowners associations.
• Taney and Stone Counties are the only counties within the State of Missouri which are
currently regulating nightly rental.
