Saratoga Springs Announces Second Public Forum to Discuss Short Term Rentals in the Spa City

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Commissioner of Accounts Dillon Moran announced a second public workshop hosted by the Accounts Department will take place Nov. 17 to continue the discussion about short term rentals in Saratoga Springs. 

“We hosted a public workshop at the beginning of October to initiate the discussion about our community’s long history of rentals, and the current landscape and impact of short-term rentals. It was clear that the conversation needs to continue,” Commissioner Moran said, in a statement.

“Saratoga Springs is a destination and a community, and it is important to define short-term rentals and for local government to work toward effective and enforceable regulations especially regarding public health and safety challenges,” Moran said. “The positive economic impact for locals must be balanced with housing availability, maintaining the character of neighborhoods, and public safety measures.”

The Short Term Rental (STR) Workshop will take place  6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 17 at the Saratoga Springs City Center.
