Among the major changes included in a revision of the county’s vacation home rental ordinance is the elimination of representation from East Fork Township on the advisory committee overseeing the rentals.

Under the revision, all five members of the VHR Advisory Board will be residents of Tahoe Township, which is the only place vacation rentals are legal in Douglas County. Two would be VHR permit holders and three would not be.

Revision of the ordinance goes before Douglas County commissioners for a final reading on Thursday.

Included in the revision is a code of conduct that calls on renters not to engage in disorderly or indecent behavior or generate marijuana smoke that can be detected by neighbors.

It also includes a provision that the person renting the VHR must be present each night, so a responsible person is onsite.

The ordinance also clarifies that an up to $20,000 fine could be imposed on someone who kept renting after their permit was revoked and that both owners and property managers would be subject to fines.

Under the revised ordinance, all vacation home rentals must be rented at least eight nights a year to keep a permit.

The ordinance has been a work in progress since it was first approved more than five years ago.

County commissioners meet 10 a.m. Thursday at the Douglas County Courthouse, 1616 Eighth St., in Minden.
