PLANO, TX – The Plano City Council said it is talking with neighboring towns about possible changes to short-term rental regulations.
On Monday evening, the council showed a list of all complaints to the Plano Police Department in 2022 due to short-term rental homes.
Police responded to 141 calls last year at 57 properties. More than 40% of these calls involved just six properties.
Most were related to partying, drugs or alcohol. In September, police said a house was being used as a brothel.
