Park Township Neighbors

Nearly 60% of voters do not support the current short-term rental ban in Park Township scheduled to go into effect this October. And, nearly a supermajority of voters favor a reasonable alternative policy allowing a limited number of owners to short-term rent their home.

“Many are focused on this important issue,” said Jeremy Allen, President of the Park Township Neighbors (PTN), a nonprofit representing over 100 property owners in Park Township that support the regulation, rather than the prohibition, of short-term rentals. “We are excited to engage the Township and find a solution here through a local legislative process.”

PTN has continued to engage the Township and community members this year, including the Realtors Association at the local and State levels with important input from the National Association. Polling was recently completed to inform a better local solution to this important Township issue.

On August 22nd, 2023, Park Township sent out a press release regarding a survey on short term rentals. Park Township Neighbors (PTN) was not contacted prior to publication of the release.

Park Township’s press release stated that:

The citizen public action committee (PAC) Park Township Neighbors, a group favoring regulations rather than prohibition of short-term rentals in Park Township, circulated a survey to gauge residents views on this topic.

We have asked Park Township to clarify their press release, but have not yet received a response.
