Draft of Short Term Rental Ordinance Revisions

Review the Town’s frequently asked questions document, here.

At the October 1 Town Council meeting, Council will consider changes to the current ordinance that regulates the operation of short-term rentals. The proposed ordinance and link to the current ordinance are available below. This draft of the revised ordinance is a proposal and cannot be final until the Council discusses and votes on it a second time at the November Town Council meeting. This allows time for Council to take into consideration any changes or issues that arise before first and/or second reading, including input they receive from the public.

Residents and property owners have three ways to provide input:

1. Write an email or letter which will be sent to Town Council members and included in the public record at the October meeting. Comments can be emailed to stillerson@kiawahisland.org.
2. Call and speak with the Town Administrator, Stephanie Tillerson at 843-768-5103.
3. Attend the Town Council meetings on October 1 and November 5 at 2:00 p.m. and provide comments to Town Council.

If you have questions about any provision in the ordinance, please call or email Stephanie Tillerson, Town Administrator, at 843-768-5103 or stillerson@kiawahisland.org.
