HI HB84

Clarifies counties' authority to enact ordinances that amortize or phase out permitted, nonconforming, or otherwise allowed short-term rentals over a reasonable period of time in any zoning classification.

Defines "short-term rental" as payment for use or exchange of a residential dwelling or portion thereof for stays of less than a specified number of days (to be determined by county), including transient vacation rentals as defined in section 514E-1.

Establishes that amortization of short-term rentals is permitted in all zoning classifications, unlike nonconforming uses generally which are limited to commercial, industrial, resort, and apartment zoned areas.

Excludes single-family residential, duplex, and agricultural uses from amortization requirements, except for permitted, nonconforming, or otherwise allowed short-term rentals specifically.

Takes effect July 1, 3000.
