State:  Missouri

The Missouri short term rental local ordinance premption bill: HB 2569 (MO | 2018) 

What would  HB 2569 (MO | 2018)  do?

• prohibit municipalities from requiring a business license
• prohibits home owner associations from blocking short term rentals
• address how spaces are advertised for shirt term rentals to ensure a fee is collected

What do opponents say?

• could impact the collection of the city’s tourism tax, because the bed tax (hotel/motel tax) is collected from a business. No business license, then there is no business to tax
