Volusia County will pause enforcement of short-term rental bans in parts of the county after weeks of lobbying from homeowners in Bethune Beach and Ormond-by-the-Sea.
Volusia County councilmembers unanimously voted Tuesday for a temporary suspension on the processing of new complaints related to short-term rental operation in unincorporated parts of the county zoned for residential use.
The item was not on Tuesday s agenda, but after a number of homeowners urgently addressed the council at the end of the meeting, County Chair Jeff Brower called for a vote.
He said he didn’t want to wait until the end of summer to see the rules changed.
