Stowe’s selectboard is considering amendments that would cap short-term rentals at 850 units and prevent license transfers when non-resident owners sell properties. The regulations would exempt homestead residents and set an August 2026 registration deadline.
- Proposed cap of 850 short-term rental properties with grandfathering for those registered by Aug. 6, 2026.
- Non-resident owners who miss the registration deadline could be locked out of licensing for years.
- Licenses would not transfer when non-resident owners sell properties, gradually reducing rental inventory.
- Homestead residents would be exempt from most regulations but limited to operating two rental properties.
- Properties rented fewer than 14 days annually would not be subject to the regulations.
