Chattanooga City Council Says “No” to Short Term Vacation Rentals in R1 Zones

Chattanooga (WDEF)  Short-term vacation rentals will not be allowed in Chattanooga by a simple certificate process.

Council voted 6 to 2 against a new ordinance that would have legalized so-called “Air bnb” operations.

The current city ordinance only allows short-term rentals in residences with R-4 zoning. Several residents are operating short term vacation rentals in R-1 neighborhoods.
