Don’t Be Fooled

There is an element of Rental Landlords that are trying to confuse the issue of the Rental Registration Ordinance that we will all (hopefully) be voting on in the upcoming August Election. Allow me to make it perfectly clear that this Ordinance deals ONLY with Short Term Rentals in single-family homes. The Ordinance does NOT deal with private residences or homes that are rented for more than 30 days.

The proposed Ordinance does NOT limit the number of friends, family or relatives that you can have stay at your home. The proposed Ordinance does not affect any aspect of your home ownership unless you use the home as a Short-Term Rental!

Just to be clear, I am including the actual wording that is on the ballot (below) and I am also including the location where you can find the entire ordinance for you to read in its entirety.

“Shall the City of Marco Island enact an Ordinance adding to the Land Development Code of the Code of Ordinances, in Article II, Zoning, Section 30-90, creating a self-financed Transient (Vacation) RSF Rental Registration Program; creating definitions; conditions requiring registration and application requirements; defining requirements and qualification for Responsible Party; rental standards and inspections; renewal process; violation penalties including fines and/or the suspension of Registration Compliance Certificate”.
