McFarland’s Plan Commission unanimously recommended stricter short-term rental regulations including a 7-day minimum stay requirement for all owners and limiting rentals to 180 consecutive days per year. Current permit holders would be grandfathered from most new restrictions.
- The Plan Commission will send the proposed ordinance changes to the village board for a May 26 vote.
- New rules would extend the 7-day minimum stay requirement to all short-term rental owners, not just out-of-town owners.
- Properties would be limited to operating as short-term rentals for only 180 consecutive days per year.
- Current permit holders would be exempt from most new restrictions through grandfathering provisions.
- Additional requirements include quarterly reporting of stays and faster response times for owner accountability.
