South Lake Tahoe’s STR ban overturned

Craig Jones
Posted

This is big news in my neck of the woods. STRs have been mostly banned in the City of South Lake Tahoe since a voter initiative passed in 2018. It created a carve-out though for locals to STR their primary residence up to 30 days per year.

The court found that favoring local owners over non-locals violated the dormant commerce clause and they invalidated the whole measure.

Lawsuits against the city expected soon over lost STR revenue.

 That's good news.

Do you think they will create a new law that bans STRs equally amount residents and non residents in response to this law being overturned?
