New Riley County regulations include license requirements for short-term rental properties, such as those on websites like Vrbo or Airbnb. On Monday, Riley County commissioners unanimously approved new land development regulations and adopted driveway standards for unincorporated areas of Riley County. In July, Manhattan city commissioners discussed potential licensing and permits for short-term rental properties in Manhattan, but they took no action. According to Craig Cox, deputy county counselor, short-term rental regulations were not in the previous code. In the new regulations, property owners will have to have a license and meet the requirements to obtain the license.
