Review of Short-Term Rental Code in Pullman
The Pullman City Council has decided to reevaluate parts of the short-term rental code, giving city staff until March to recommend changes.
This decision comes after community pushback against new regulations passed earlier this year. In May, the council approved updates to the city's code, which included new rules and application processes for short-term rentals like Airbnb.
- Owners must obtain a business license from the Washington Department of Revenue.
- A short-term rental license is required through the city, with an initial fee of $200.
- The license is valid for one year and is free to renew.
The city council's move is a response to community concerns, aiming to balance regulations with the needs of short-term rental owners.
