Truckee adopts changes to short-term rental rules

Truckee has adopted amendments to its short-term rental ordinance, including rules on how many registration certificates will be issued, rules for new homeowners in the area, and increased penalties.

Town Council unanimously approved the changes at its meeting Tuesday.

“We’ve been listening through so many different means — our community wide outreach survey where we had 1,500 people respond, hundreds of public comments that we’ve received before and at various council meetings … and our coffee chats and our stakeholder groups and numerous informal conversations with our constituents,” said Mayor Courtney Henderson. “And I think we recognize that not everyone will necessary be satisfied this evening with whatever the outcome ends up being. That does not mean we’re not listening.”
