Attention Adams short-term rental owners and operators:

The Adams Planning Board is planning to discuss potential short-term rental bylaws at its meeting on Monday. If you own, operate, or are considering a short-term rental in Adams, now is the time to pay attention and get involved in the discussion.

Reasonable land-use regulations are always welcome. However, some of the concepts that were recently discussed appear to go beyond traditional zoning and land-use regulation and raise legal and property-rights concerns. For instance, are we really going to try to regulate how many people can stay in a room or a home? Why would we do that, and how would we enforce it?

Whether you support regulation, oppose it, or simply want fair and lawful rules, it is important that short-term rental operators have a voice in the process before decisions are made. The town desperately wants the tax revenue, so let’s make rules that make sense and don’t drive the business to neighboring towns.

Local government works best when the people affected are informed and involved.
