Chatham public meeting on short-term rentals

Chatham County invites residents to Memorial Stadium Monday night at 6:00 p.m. to sound any concerns, complaints, cheers, jeers or other thoughts about regulation of short-term vacation rentals, as the county considers updating rules for unincorporated Chatham just in time for summer.

Right now, short-term rental owners must get county certification, which can be revoked if guests are habitually too rowdy, too numerous or otherwise unlawful.  Owners aren’t supposed to break any homeowners association ban on rentals either. 

Chatham’s rules only cover unincorporated parts of the county like Isle of Hope, Skidaway Island and Wilmington Island.  Savannah makes its own rules. If you can’t make the meeting, email your county commissioner with your thoughts.

We’re monitoring about 60 agencies and counting for the most interesting meetings to which the public is invited. Our list covers the next two weeks. Let us know how you use this calendar or how we can improve it at staff@thecurrentga.org.

This list starts with an automated collection that does not involve AI. It is checked and edited by a human. But agencies may announce new meetings, change meeting times or cancel them, sometimes without any online notice. Some publish calendars in more than one place with different information.  Some rely on Facebook posts which may require a login to read and cannot be collected automatically. 

You may want to call ahead and verify the meeting time and place, especially for smaller agencies.
