Providence looks to limit rentals

The Providence Village Town Council explored its options for limiting short term rentals during its Tuesday Town Council meeting.

Prompted by a proposed ordinance that would regulate short-term rentals, the council members said they would want to pair the change with zoning changes that establish set areas in town where such rentals could be.

“At the time [in May of 2022], finding a clear path to regulate short-term rentals was not abundantly clear,” Town Manager Brian Roberson said. “There were several lawsuits underway and challenges and things of this nature going on. … There’s a little more clarity now than there was three years ago.”
