## Resource

Madison just passed sweeping new rules for short-term rentals like Airbnb, with a 5-2 council vote — giving existing operators 90 days to apply for permits or shut down. Up to 190 permits total, or 0.75% of homes, will be issued after a $350 application fee, annual renewals, lodging taxes, HOA approval, and a local contact requirement. A “three-strike” rule could suspend permits for repeat complaints. Critics worry it doesn’t fully protect neighborhoods, while owners see rentals as essential for visitors and temporary housing.
