New regulations have been passed in Kirby that require all owners of properties used for short-term rentals to apply for a conditional use permit with the town

KIRBY — New regulations have been passed in Kirby that require all owners of properties used for short-term rentals, such as Airbnb or VRBO, to apply for a conditional use permit with the town. This includes existing short-term rentals, which must go through the conditional use review process before the town’s Planning Commission/Zoning Board. The board had concerns over some short-term rental operations in town and did extensive research to adopt a process where town officials, with neighborhood input, will draft specific conditions on a case-by-case basis.
