The Baileys Harbor Village Plan Commission plans to discuss an amendment to the Short-Term Rental Ordinance #2022-01 adopted on October 5th, 2022 next Monday, June 5th at the Plan Commission meeting

The Village of Baileys Harbor has proposed changes to local regulations regarding short term rentals (“STRs”) within the Village. Village leadership is trying to enact an amendment to help keep a balance in neighborhoods of year-round residents, seasonal and STR properties. One way they hope to do this is by limiting all NEW licenses issued by DCTZC after July 15 to a 7-day consecutive stay (or owner-occupied) amendment.

Any emails received will be forwarded onto the Plan Commission for review. Once the Plan Commission agrees upon the proposed amendment, they will send it to the Village Board for discussion and approval.
