La Quinta to hire firm to assess economic impact of short-term rentals as opponents work toward a ban – Desert Sun

La Quinta will be spending up to $40,000 for an assessment of the economic value of short-term vacation rentals and the impact a ban in most residential neighborhoods would have on the city’s coffers.

The city has reported just under $6 million in transient occupancy tax revenues for 2021 off of short-term vacation rentals alone.
