FREEDOM — The Freedom Planning Board on Wednesday posted to townoffreedom.net a draft short-term rental ordinance that will be presented at a public hearing Jan. 6 at 7 p.m. at the Freedom Town Hall. If the proposal has to be modified, another hearing would take place.
According to the draft ordinance, STR owners would be required to get a conditional use permit from the board of selectmen. If passed as written in March, owners would be able to legally rent out their properties short-term for only 45 days per year. This is meant to prevent investors from scooping up homes for profit but allowing families to generate some income.
