The City of West Columbia is considering amendments to its existing rental housing regulations and zoning ordinances related to long-term and short-term residential rental units. While the City currently maintains rental registration requirements and related rental housing regulations, the proposed amendments are intended to update and expand operational standards, enforcement mechanisms, and zoning regulations applicable to rental properties operating within the city. Details about the proposed amendments can be found here: https://westcolumbiasc.gov/short-term-rental-units.

The city is seeking public input on the proposed ordinance revisions prior to the first reading by City Council, currently scheduled for June 2. Residents, property owners, and interested parties are encouraged to review the proposed materials and submit comments through the public input survey below by May 31. https://arcg.is/181Wf50
