Norfork voters reject measure to ban short-term rentals

Norfork voters decided Tuesday to allow short-term rentals to continue within city limits, voting down a measure to repeal the existing ordinance.

The ballot measure read: “Repeal ordinance 2023-03 that permits short-term rental of homes in all zoned districts throughout the City of Norfork.”

A “yes” vote would have repealed the ordinance, banning short-term rentals, while a “no” vote allowed them to continue.

In unofficial results, the measure failed with 137 votes against and 89 in favor.
