Nashville Residents Debate STR Rules Ahead of Super Bowl

5/26/2026

Nashville residents are debating whether the city should relax short-term rental rules ahead of Super Bowl LXIV in 2030, which is expected to bring a major tourism and economic boost. Some homeowners argue they should be allowed to more easily rent out properties on platforms to benefit directly from rising demand and offset increasing property taxes. Current rules require a $313 permit and compliance with zoning and safety requirements. Metro Council members acknowledge concerns on both sides and say the permitting system may be reviewed before the event.
