Plan to ban short-term rentals in single-family Dallas neighborhoods finally goes forward | SharonFGrigsby
has given problem rental properties that much more time to drive residents to their wit’s end and left many of them certain the big dogs of Airbnb and VRBO control the debate.
According to the final report, the committee sought to “preserve the neighborhood character of residential districts … and minimize adverse impacts to the housing supply caused by the conversion of residential units to transient use.” The proposed change is part of a two-pronged attack that the City Council finally set in motion earlier this year. While city staff and the plan commission work on zoning, code compliance is devising regulations specific to these rentals in the areas where they eventually would be allowed to operate.has long argued that because the city requires short-term rentals to pay the hotel tax, they are, by extension, hotels, which local code outlaws in single-family neighborhoods.
A sign opposing short-term rentals is one of many in Far North Dallas, north of Arapaho Road and east of Hillcrest Road.to suss out short-terms, contact their hosts for registration and collect the hotel tax. City Hall says party houses are not a raging issue, and this month it released an updated analysis of 311 and 911 nuisance calls to back up the statement.
Airbnb and VRBO proponents are sure to wave this report vigorously, but I’d be hesitant to draw any conclusions from an assessment that includes only a portion of total properties.
