At the August 7, 2021 Board of Trustees meeting the Board unanimously approved a resolution to require all rental dwellings to acquire a rental permit from the SLI. This requirement is for any property rented for a fee even if it is only for one day during the year. This is an annual permit required beginning January 1, 2022 and will have an annual $500 fee.
