Jerome’s attempts at regulating short-term vacation rentals in residential neighborhoods was met with defeat in 2016. The town was subject of a lawsuit by the Goldwater Institute on behalf of owners of Jerome vacation rental properties. The homeowners maintained that their business licenses had already been issued when the town advised them the ventures did not conform to Residential zoning. (VVN/Vytp Starinskas)
