HostReadySpringfield requires all short-term rentals (rentals under 30 consecutive days) to be registered and licensed by the City under City Code Section 36-473. Three permit types exist: Type 1 (operator-occupied, allowed in all zones), Type 2 (non-operator-occupied in R-SF or R-TH, subject to density and neighborhood meeting requirements), and Type 3 (non-operator-occupied in other zones). Permits are valid for one year and must be renewed annually.
