Short-term Rental Conditional Use Permit

Please be advised that Short Term Rentals are not a permitted use of property in the Village of Volente. To qualify for an STR, you must first obtain a Conditional Use Permit, which includes a P&Z public hearing, as well as a Council Meeting public hearing. Neighbors within 500 feet of your property are required to be notified in advance. Please understand that by following the process and submitting the appropriate application fees does not guarantee approval of operating an STR. If a Conditional Use Permit is approved, you will receive a Short Term Rental License, which will need to be renewed annually.
