The City of West Columbia is reviewing potential changes to its rental housing regulations concerning both long-term and short-term residential rentals. Although the city currently has rental registration rules and related regulations, the proposed amendments aim to update and broaden operational standards, enforcement procedures, and zoning regulations for rental properties. More information is available at: https://westcolumbiasc.gov/short-term-rental-units.

A public hearing to discuss these amendments will take place during the September 1, 2026, Regular City Council meeting at 6 p.m. in the Council Chambers at West Columbia City Hall. Members of the public may speak for up to three minutes about the proposed changes. No prior registration is required, and the public can submit feedback in advance via the provided feedback form. https://arcg.is/181Wf50
