TVR'S:

Legislation for vacation rental units WITHOUT the owner living on the property will be worked on in 2009.  We are hopeful that the spirit of compromise can be continued, and the County will deliberate this important legislation early in the year.  

It must be noted that most TVR owners contribute substantially to the economy every year.  They purchase goods and services on the island, and unlike B&B owners that do most of the work on their property, the TVR owners hire gardeners, cleaners, maintenance staff, reservation agents, and pool cleaners.  In most cases 100% of the vacation rental income is spent in the local economy.
