Douglas County commissioners to review vacation home rentals at Lake Tahoe meeting

DOUGLAS COUNTY, Nev. – Douglas County staff will be presenting revisions of the Vacation Home Rental (VHR) code to the Board of County Commissioners on April 10, 2023, at 10 a.m. at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Stateline.

On February 22, 2023, the Vacation Home Rental Advisory Board voted unanimously to approve revisions to the VHR code including changes to density, occupancy, and tier levels. The Planning Commission then reviewed these changes on March 20, 2023. The next step in the process is for the Board of County Commissioners to review the revisions and provide direction on the revised code.

At the Board of County Commissioners meeting, VHR Program Manager Ernie Strehlow will give a presentation on the proposed changes. The public can obtain a copy of the redlines at the VHR website: https://www.douglascountynv.gov/cms/One.aspx?portalId=12493103&pageId=14438390

Depending on the outcome, a first and second reading of the proposed revisions may occur in early May or June.

The code review and update began in 2022 and took more than 60 hours of advisory board and staff discussion in combination with 25 hours of public comment. In October 2022, a joint meeting with the Douglas County Board of Commissioners and the Vacation Home Rental Advisory Board was also held at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Lake Tahoe in Stateline.
