Inverness Association position on Short-Term Rental Restrictions
Adopted May 22nd, 2023
The Inverness Association supports additional restrictions on short-term rentals in West Marin once the moratorium on short-term rentals is lifted. Further, the Inverness Association is supportive of restricting short-term rentals from operation by corporations and limiting the number of short-term rentals to one unit per homeowner.
This position is based on feedback the Inverness Association received from the Inverness community through a survey it conducted between March 3rd and April 1st 2023. The majority of the 336 respondents of the survey (80.3%) support either some restrictions (72.6%) or a total ban (7.7%) on short-term rentals. Of those in favor of restricting short-term rentals, 77.7% support banning corporations from operating short-term rentals, and 55.7% support limiting the number of rentals to one rental per homeowner.
Of the 336 survey respondents, 269 either live in Inverness and/or are homeowners in Inverness; of that subset, 186 respondents are full time residents of Inverness. Inverness residents and homeowners were even more supportive of restrictions than the overall survey population; however there wasn't always consensus on the types of restrictions that should be implemented.
The survey results are rich with detail and we recommend the County of Marin review the findings of the Inverness Association to inform its position on short-term rental restrictions in West Marin.
This position relates to short-term rentals as defined by the Country of Marin and not other types of lodging in Inverness.
