MORE SESSION DETAILS

North America’s 2 million short-term rentals have presented local governments with compliance challenges at a scale and scope never seen before. The rentals put long-established local government compliance monitoring and enforcement techniques in jeopardy. Hear from planning and code enforcement professionals who have taken it upon themselves to make the sharing-economy work for everyone in their communities by deploying 21st century technologies and out-of-the box thinking to ensure that all short-term rental operators abide by local regulations and pay their fair share of taxes. In addition they share a framework for thinking about the costs and benefits associated with the different approaches to enforcing new industries in the sharing economy, and how to overcome the many challenges associated with monitoring compliance with and enforcement of short-term rental regulations, including how to influence decisionmakers to adopt sensible and cost-effective short-term rental regulations and enforcement processes.
