What Landlords and Renters Need to Know

The City of Nixa has rules in place regarding both long-term residential property rentals and short-term rentals like Airbnb and VRBO.

Nixa offers a rental inspection program designed to ensure that all Nixa rental property is suitable for habitation. Property owners operating long-term rentals are required to schedule a city rental inspection after each tenant moves out and before the next tenant is able to move in. Property owners operating short-term rentals are required to schedule a city rental inspection annually, as a condition for your business license to be renewed.

If you are renting your property for less than 30 days, especially if using a program such as Airbnb or VRBO, you are considered to be operating a short-term rental business. Select the “Short-term Rental” tab to learn more about how we can assist you through the process to obtain a special use permit to operate a short-term rental.
