Short-Term Vacation Rentals (STVRs), such as those listed on platforms like Airbnb and VRBO, are currently undergoing regulatory changes in Bryan County, Oklahoma. The local government has drafted an ordinance aimed at regulating these rentals to mitigate impacts on residential neighborhoods. This ordinance includes stipulations like requiring an annual application with fees, limitations on rental occupancy (maximum of ten guests), and maintaining the property as the owner's primary residence for at least half the year. Properties that thrive in the area mainly include cabins and rural homes, appealing primarily to tourists attracted to local attractions rather than business travelers. The county government, specifically the Bryan County Planning and Zoning Department, is responsible for the oversight and enforcement of these regulations.
