Short-term rental properties owners in the city of Avondale will be required to obtain a license.
The city’s short-term rentals ordinance takes effect Thursday, Feb. 1.
Adopted by the Avondale City Council in October this past year, the new ordinance strikes a balance between the rights of property owners and the need for enhanced safety and compliance within the city.
According to officials, this ordinance is a proactive measure to address the challenges posed by the rapid growth of short-term rentals, a city press release states. It aims to ensure the safety and well-being of both residents and visitors in Avondale while promoting responsible operation within the city.
The short-term rentals ordinance includes elements that will help regulate and license short-term rentals. Owners or operators of these transient accommodations, commonly known as vacation rentals, will be required to obtain a license from the city.
