Flagstaff City Council and mayoral candidates have been given the chance to answer a weekly question in no more than 150 words. This week’s question: How have vacation rentals impacted Flagstaff and how may they need to change?
Mayor Jamie Whelan
Vacation rentals shift our concept of community and redefine neighbors. Vacation rentals are just small hotel/motels that circumvent fire, building and zoning codes (codes designed to protect our neighborhoods’ character) and as commercial properties they should be paying commercial rates for taxes, licenses, and fees.
