DELAND After a rowdy day of public comment, the Volusia County Council voted Tuesday to delay changing an ordinance prohibiting short-term rentals until the end of the just-started Florida legislative session.
Enforcement will remain suspended and a committee will be established to talk over potential changes to the current ordinance, which bars short-term rentals in areas of unincorporated Volusia County zoned for residential use.
A bill is pending in the legislature that could allow local governments to make ordinances on short-term rentals less restrictive. A previous Florida law prohibited all changes to regulations of the length or frequency of stay in short-term rentals.
