Short term rentals are controversial. For every homeowner who loves them and counts them as a side cash cow, there are others who hate them. Most homeowner’s associations have bylaws regulating them, but it remains a topic of debate across the globe.
Should you have a stake in the game, the St Johns County Commissioners will be providing direction on whether or not short term rentals should be regulated at their regular meeting on February 5th, 2019. See details from the below email from the county.
