The moratorium on new short-term rental licenses in Summit County will end on March 23rd, 2023. The county has recently released the proposed new rules and caps on the number of licenses. The proposed new caps would significantly reduce the number of short term rental licenses in the unincorporated parts of the county.

The Summit County Board Of County Commissioners lists their goals for these new changes as follows.

1. Local Workforce Housing: Maintain the housing stock that exists for locals; develop
   regulations that prioritize and preserve long-term rentals and locally owned housing units.
2. Neighborhood Character: Create long-lasting STR regulations that preserve the historic,
   long-term residential character of Summit County’s neighborhoods and recognize the differing
   nature of the resort areas.
3. Reduce Conflicts: Identify areas where STRs conflict with the primary residential uses
   established in the traditional neighborhoods and adopt regulations that reduce impacts and
   mitigate changes due to STRs.
4. Balance: Summit County is a community with abundant resort amenities, long-standing locals’
   neighborhoods, and is a desirable place for second-homeowners; regain the balance between
   local residents, non-STR second homes, and STRs.
5. Clear Regulations: Adopt regulations that are straight-forward, easy to understand, and easily enforceable.

Here is a summary of the proposed new limits on short term rental licenses.  Below are the new limits proposed by the BoCC.  These are not the final limits and it sounds like they will be slightly higher. 

These changes would impact all short term rentals in unincorperated parts of Summit County by September 2025.
