When the Town of Keystone incorporated on February 8, 2024, they entered into an agreement with Summit County for continued services. On May 6, 2024, the Town of Keystone approved an amendment to this intergovernmental agreement (IGA). In this amendment, a timeline for a transition of different services from Summit County to the Town of Keystone was established. The amendment to the IGA, indicates that the County will continue to provide services related to the administration and enforcement of Short-Term Rental Licenses through September 30, 2024. Beginning October 1, 2024, the Town of Keystone will begin the administration and licensing of Short-Term Rental Licenses for the Town of Keystone. This timeline aligns with the annual renewal period for existing Short Term Rental licenses with Summit County.
Town Council has expressed that their current goal is to pass an ordinance that is fairly similar to the existing code in Summit County. This will provide continuity and allow for an effective renewal period for licenses in 2024. After this year's renewal period, Town Council plans to review the STR code, with extensive public input, to determine if additional changes are needed.
