Bill > SB54

This bill creates a new section of Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) Chapter 65 to define "local government" as various forms of city or county governance and "short-term rental" as any dwelling rented for less than thirty days, including houses, apartments, condos, and accessory dwelling units. It mandates that all short-term rentals must adhere to existing state and local zoning, building code, and fire safety regulations. Crucially, the bill grants local governments the authority to enact ordinances to regulate short-term rentals, which can include establishing registries, charging licensing or inspection fees, limiting where they can be located, prohibiting their use if there have been ordinance violations or criminal activity, restricting the total number of short-term rentals within their jurisdiction or that can be marketed by an individual, controlling their proximity to other short-term rentals, and requiring owner occupancy.
