Walton County issued the following announcement on Sept. 24.
The Walton County Planning and Development Department will hold public workshops on Thursday, October 7, 2021 at 9 a.m. and Thursday, October 21, 2021 at 6 p.m. at the South Walton Courthouse Annex BCC Boardroom located at 31 Coastal Centre Blvd., Santa Rosa Beach, FL.
The purpose of these workshops is to provide input on Walton County’s proposed short-term vacation rental ordinance, as well as address the impacts stemming from short-term rental activity in Walton County, specifically to explore the following:
The public health, safety, and welfare impacts of short-term rental of single-family residences on residential areas.
The short-term rental related impacts on public safety and public infrastructure in south Walton County.
The costs and benefits of implementation of a County registration/regulatory process for single family residential based short-term rentals.
Other topics related to short-term rental regulations may also be discussed. These workshops, which are open to the public, serve as a great opportunity to help craft the ordinance that will ultimately be presented to the Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners for consideration.
Please be advised that two or more Walton County Commissioners may attend these workshops.
The workshops will be livestreamed, and a link will be provided on the planning department website to allow for interactive remote Zoom participation. The website can be found here: https://www.co.walton.fl.us/433/Planning-and-Development.
