At the time, the state sent municipalities guidance on the short-term rental changes, saying it wished to have uniformity in enforcement wherever possible.
Oak Bluffs recently created a short-term rental ad hoc committee to look at potential rules and regulations for the vacation properties.
The regulation wording has allowed towns to forgo rentals inspections.
West Tisbury enacted its own short-term rental bylaw last year that put parameters around rental properties, and also required an inspection every two years.
The inspection issue has come up with the Oak Bluffs short-term rental ad hoc committee, but members have been more interested in whether the town should implement a short-term rental registration.
