WHAT CAN YOU DO

Help GET THE WORD OUT ON THE NEW SHORT TERM RENTAL REGULATIONS

Share information with your neighbors and service providers alerting them to the new Short Term Rental Regulations that go into effect on 1 January 2023 and what those regulations can mean to them and their homes and businesses.  


Due to the failure to deliver of the the originally chosen STR registration portal and compliance process vendor, a new vendor is being vetted.  Nantucket Together, as well as members of the real estate community (who represent most STR operators) and the ProcessFirst Data Aggregator who supported the STR Working Group, were requested to support the selection process.  All agreed to volunteer to support the town, demos were scheduled along with an interview process and the group met to recommend a vendor.  This process is moving forward quickly with a desired implementation date of early 2024 to begin the registration and STR data collection process.   A $250 registration fee has been proposed to cover the cost of their services which will also include data mining for those who have failed to register.  


Regardless of the outcome of the STM vote on proposed STR Articles, the initial implementation will seek to enforce the existing STR registration and regulation process that was approved at the 2022 Annual Town Meeting.

Approved Short Term Rental Regulations

PARTICIPATE IN POSSIBLE FUTURE STR WORKING GROUP PUBLIC MEETINGS

Although the initial scope of work assigned to the Short Term Rental Work Group (STRWG) concluded with the delivery of a linked package of draft zoning and general bylaws to the town on June 27, 2023, the group has also requested permission to:

  • assist the town in getting the proposed regulations passed at the Special Town Meeting (STM) on November 7 2023 starting at 5PM
  • define data to be collected by the town STR registry to support future analysis


The town has published a STM schedule of events  that outlines planned town board review and public hearings that will benefit from public participation and comment.


Appointed members and alternates can be contracted and are:


  • Planning Board member:  David Iverson (primary), Barry Rector (alternate)
  • Finance Committee member: Peter Schaeffer (primary), Joe Grause (alternate)
  • Advisory Committee of Non-Voting Taxpayers member: Peter Kahn (primary) William Gardner (alternate)
