The Vote on this Proposed Ordinance WILL take place at the next City Council Meeting!

What does this mean?
 Proposed Ordinance to END all STVR in Residential Zones forever through Attrition via Sale of Home & other reasons listed below - 
NO GRANDFATHERING❗️ 

•Sale of a Property Terminates Rights to Rent

•Restructuring of LLC results in Immediate Termination of Certificate - any change of percentage of ownership will trigger a termination

•Retitling the Property to a Spouse, Family Member or anyone upon Death will result in Immediate Termination of Certificate

•Placing Property into a Trust will Terminate rights to Rent

Where is this coming from? A Small vocal group of residents (aka the Tybee 12) & Forever Tybee are pushing propaganda for "equal rights" of residents - but lets be clear: stripping Private Property rights does not equalize rights.

 

Allowing all homeowners to have the Right to Choose how they use their property is allowing Equal Private Property Rights.

What You Can Do:

 Contact ALL of the members of Council and the Mayor!

 

  Council Member Nick Sears stated during the race that his goal was to eradicate vacation rentals on Tybee through attrition, so let’s make sure that before the next meeting our voices are heard so it is not the case. Contact info is available at the bottom of this email

I have received many calls, texts, and emails about the moratorium since it all began, and I hope I can continue to bring clarity to such an overwhelming process. The moratorium has ENDED and only those with licenses in place can currently continue to rent unless they are owner occupied. As a Tybee resident, property owner and Realtor of 18+ years involved in property management, individual property rights are always a priority.

 

Whether you care about private property rights, love Tybee Island, buy or sell real estate, own property on Tybee, or are considering it- this issue affects YOU! Please speak up and let the City Council hear from you.

Email Tybee City Council About Your Rights Being Threatened:

 

It is widely known now City Council members are moving forward to plan to vote in favor of this. Ask your emails go on record and be included in the next City Council Agenda Packet. I've heard from 100s of property owners weekly who do not want to lose their right to rent now, in the future, or ever!

 

We want equal protection for all property owners!
