New Milford Addressing Short Term Rentals

New Milford residents are calling for new regulations on short-term rentals like Airbnb and Vrbo. At a recent meeting, concerns were raised about increased traffic, overburdened septic systems, and disruptive renters. While some advocate for property owner rights, others propose forming a committee to develop and enforce rental rules. With state law now allowing towns to regulate such rentals, New Milford is considering measures including registration requirements and zoning restrictions.
