We’ve always been told that there are NO short term rentals in Bayou Vista…., (airBNB, etc) but I’ve seen more and more of them in the last few weeks…, including right across the street. So who can give me an answer…., is it permitted or not? The thought of getting $300+ a night is sounding better and better. Everything else is going to hell…, why not just go with the flow?
Not allowed, as of the Council meeting May 31st, the City is working to close down three STRs. One was on the docket for yesterday but his attorney was granted a 30 day delay.
City Ordinance Sec. 3.02.02. Any rental of all or part of a building on a residential lot for a term shorter than 30 days shall be deemed to be a commercial purpose and shall be unlawful.
If you are aware of someone operating a STR in BV, report them to the police. The BVPD needs to be made aware of those that are illegally operating in BV to enforce the ordinance.
