Short-Term Rentals 2026

Resolution 26-028(A) asks the Economic Development Advisory Commission (EDC) to take a focused look at short-term rentals (STRs) and how they may relate to housing conditions in Homer. It is not a proposal to regulate STRs. It is a step toward getting a clearer, shared understanding of local conditions before making decisions. A report on findings will be presented to City Council between August and October, 2026.

To submit a public comment on STRs for the EDC, please fill out the form found at this link: https://www.cityofhomer-ak.gov/cityclerk/submit-written-testimony-commis...
