Local Regulations and Policies
Navigating local regulations and policies can sometimes feel like a maze, but we're here to help you make sense of it all. Recently, there have been some significant changes to the town's zoning ordinances. These changes are designed to promote responsible development and protect our natural resources. One key update is the new requirement for developers to conduct environmental impact assessments before starting any major construction project. This will help ensure that our community grows sustainably, without compromising the health of our environment. Additionally, there have been revisions to the regulations regarding short-term rentals, such as Airbnb. These changes aim to balance the benefits of tourism with the needs of long-term residents. The new rules include restrictions on the number of short-term rentals allowed in certain neighborhoods and require hosts to obtain a permit from the town. We understand that these changes may affect some residents and property owners, so we've compiled a list of resources to help you stay informed. You can find detailed information on the town's website, including FAQs, guidelines, and contact information for relevant departments. We encourage everyone to familiarize themselves with these new regulations and reach out to the town if you have any questions or concerns. Our goal is to ensure that everyone understands the rules and can comply with them, contributing to a harmonious and well-regulated community.
