Kansas City STR Announcement!!

Kansas City STR Announcement!!

Hi, all! 

I just figured I'd post a little PSA that Kansas City council just passed an updated ordinance to BAN all STR's in areas zoned R (residential). You can still operate a STR in areas zoned commercial. Properties that were already permitted will be grandfathered in and the permit "should" run with the land upon sale of the property. It is unclear what the city will do with the pending STR applicatoins.

I will continue to post updates as I become aware of them!

I guess those existing permits just got more valuable.

    Thanks for posting @Michelle Bateman. There was a topic that came up a few weeks ago where someone had KC on their radar and others had chimed in that this has been on deck for a while.

    Yet another large city restricting STRs. So what neighborhoods around KC aren't affected?

    Of course I would be wary of any and all neighborhoods nearby as this sort of thing is like a cancer that spreads.

    Once again, big cities are going to continue to clamp down on STR regulations. Not a big surprise here.

    Got a link for an article about this? Curious to read up. KCK or KCMO?

     agreed - definitely disappointing decision though, especially considering the growth projections and increased tourism in this city.

     To my understanding this applies only to zip codes within "kansas city".

    Thanks for the update. Another reason why regional, drivable vacation markets are the way to go

    So jealous of anyone that got grandfathered in. Barriers to entry for future competitors.
