Housing Trust discusses short-term rental bylaw residency limits.
Egremont Municipal Housing Trust · Meeting of May 12, 2026
Egremont Housing Trust refines short-term rental bylaw with residency requirement for future registrations. The board agreed that current owners registering before the effective date would be grandfathered in, while new registrations must be owned by Egremont residents. Whole-house rentals would face a 150-night annual cap after a two-year transition period, though accessory dwelling units and room rentals would be exempt.
Board members flagged enforcement complexity and a tight June 1 deadline to submit the draft to the Select Board ahead of a potential June 16 town meeting.
