Be a Good Neighbor
It is important to be a good neighbor – whether you’re at home or on vacation. Please keep your neighbors in mind during your stay in Hot Springs. Compliance with these rules will assure that you and your neighbors will both enjoy your stay. Disturbance or violations of the City’s Short-term Rental Ordinance could result in citations or fines from the City, or even eviction by the owner. Keep in mind, City residents have the right to call a 24-hour Short-term Rental Hotline to report violations of the rules outlined below and in the "Good Neighbor" flyer and brochure.
Please remember that you are vacationing among many permanent residents who chose Hot Springs as a quiet and safe place to live. They, and the City, are looking to you to help preserve that special sense of peace and quiet. In short, being a short-term renter means simply being a good neighbor.
