TYBEE ISLAND, Ga. (WTOC) – A potential ordinance concerning short term vacation rentals on Tybee Island is set to undergo some additional screening before it’s voted on.
Right now, an ordinance has been introduced on Tybee Island that would prohibit the transfer of short-term vacation rental licenses if the owner of a property changes.
Currently, an STVR license is just tied to a property not a person.
Before that ordinance can be voted on, the Tybee City Council has decided to hold a workshop to discuss the possibility of ordering an economic impact study that would give a clearer picture of how the ordinance would affect the economy of the island.
The City Council has also voted to send the ordinance to Tybee’s Planning Commission so they can “investigate” it and either approve or deny it.
There’s no solid dates yet on what that workshop would take place, or what meeting the Planning Commission would discuss the ordinance at.
