FORT PIERRE — The issue of vacation rental homes came before the Fort Pierre City Council Monday night. So much so Mayor Gloria Hanson moved the public comment portion of the meeting up the agenda so the dozen or so residents could voice their displeasure with a V-R-B-O or Vacation Rental By Owner in their neighborhood…
Public Works Director Rick Hahn says Fort Pierre has no current licenses for vacation rentals so any operating are doing so illegally…
Hahn says the rental can pop up quickly, especially online…
Fort Pierre is looking to add an Assistant Public Works Director who can assist in locating the illegally operating vacation homes. The address and owner of the V-R-B-O was not discussed during public comment nor did any of the neighbors identify themselves during the open forum.
