Government
BY CONNOR PITTMAN
Short-term rental regulations proposed Grapevine City Council voted to call a public hearing for an ordinance that would regulate the operations of short-term rentals in the city, or homes rented out temporarily using services such as Airbnb and Vrbo. Council unanimously approved a resolution to call for a public hearing on a short-term rental ordinance during the Dec. 19 joint session with the planning and zoning commission. The hearing will be held sometime in 2024. What you need to know The public hearing will allow council to consider amending four sections of the city’s Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, which would allow for the restriction of short-term rentals. The changes are aimed at fixing identified issues with short-term rentals, such as noise complaints and parking.

If adopted, the new regulations would limit short-term rentals to multifamily complexes with more than 50 units, require individuals with a short-term rental to hold a permit with the city, and stipulate that property can only be used as a short-term rental for a maximum of 180 days per year. The yearly application fee for a short-term would be $500.
