As Ellsworth continues to grow, the City is exploring whether a short-term rental (STR) registration and safety inspection program should be considered. Before any recommendations are developed, we want to hear from you. Community input is an important part of the City’s decision-making process, and this session is designed to gather perspectives before any recommendations are brought forward.
Whether you’re a STR host, a neighborhood resident, a local business owner, or simply interested in the conversation, you’re invited to attend a public listening session and share your thoughts. No decisions have been made. This session is an opportunity to listen, ask questions, and gather community feedback before any next steps are considered.
