RE: Mason County Short-Term Vacation Rentals and Public Engagement
Opportunities
The Planning Department is conducting public outreach regarding short-term vacation
rentals in our communities.The outreach is intended to gather community and stakeholder
opinions on the issues and advantages of short-term rentals to better inform the Planning
Advisory Commission and the Board of County Commissioners as they work on drafting
regulations.
The first part of this outreach process has commenced with postcards sent to shoreline lot
owners within the County.These postcards request their input on the issue through a survey
accessed by QR code or by link provided on a project page on the County website.
The purpose of this news release is to reach community members beyond shoreline lot
owners and direct them to the project webpage that highlights project news, upcoming
meeting dates with pertinent draft documents,finalized documents when available,project
manager contact information, link to notification list sign up, and a survey.
The deadline for submitting survey input is January 12, 2024.
The public can learn more about engagement opportunities related to the review and
drafting of short-term vacation rental regulations within Mason County by visiting
