New Business Process
New Accessory Homestay Permit Fee Starting July 1, 2017, there will be a $63 filing fee for all Accessory Homestay Permit applications. This new fee is in accordance with the County Board’s adoption of a revised zoning fee schedule on April 22, 2017.
The Accessory Homestay permit allows residents to host overnight guests for stays of less than thirty (30) days in residential dwelling units that they reside in as their primary residence. Accessory Homestays are a means for residents to utilize online booking platforms such as Airbnb, Craigslist or Vacation Rentals by Owner (VRBO).
