Anchorage Assembly OKs Short-Term Rental Licensing Program


3/26/2024

Short-term rental owners in Alaska's biggest city will be required to locally license their operations following action by the Anchorage Assembly. The Assembly voted 7-5 for the licensing requirements. Member Kevin Cross said he’s been both an Airbnb host and a regular landlord. He said being a landlord to long-term tenants comes with more risk, more legal issues, and lower profits. “Listen, you don't need to create another bureaucracy to figure out why being a landlord sucks, why you would want to go to Airbnb,” he said. “The information is out there. Talk to the real estate industry, talk to the owners. We do not need more government. We do not need more regulation.”

Update: Anchorage Mayor Dave Bronson vetoed the proposal. The Assembly now has 21 days to decide if it will try to override the veto.
