In response to the town of Breckenridge’s suggested short-term rental moratorium, a group of community members and local officials created a coalition at the beginning of March to find housing solutions for the workforce.
Part of the coalition’s mission is to gather information about how property owners, particularly second-home owners, use their property. To do this, the coalition launched a survey April 16, which has garnered nearly 3,000 responses. The deadline to take the survey is 5 p.m. Friday, May 7.
The group was started by Toby Babich, president and CEO of Breckenridge Resort Managers and president of the Vacation Rental Management Association. Other group members include Summit County Commissioner Tamara Pogue and Summit Realtors Executive Director Sarah Thorsteinson.
If one Florida senator gets his way, local governments may soon lose control over one ever-expanding industry: short-term rentals.
Florida Senate Bill 522 was filed by Sen. Manny Diaz Jr., R-Hialeah Gardens, in January and has been referred to the Regulated Industries, Commerce and Tourism and Rules committees.
The bill essentially turns over the regulation, licensing and inspection of the short-term rental industry to the state, removing layers of control that currently exist at the city and county level.
An identical bill was filed in the House in January. The regular session starts March 2.
Diaz did not return multiple requests for comment.
