Vermont’s Vacation Rental Association

Why Support VTSTRA?

As the only statewide voice for Vermont’s short-term rental community, VTSTRA provides year-round lobbying at the Statehouse, professional representation in legislative matters, and data-backed information for local governments, the media, and the public.

Members receive state and municipal regulation updates and alerts, gain access to an extensive library of STR business tools and compliance guides, private forums and community meetings, plus enjoy one-on-one support when needed. Members also get marketing perks like a digital member badge and a free listing in our STR Service Directory, along with savings on merchandise, conference registration, safety training course (a $350 value), and vendor discounts.

Whether you want to connect with STR hosts, grow your business, or step into industry leadership, VTSTRA offers meaningful ways to engage locally and from afar. Anyone who owns, manages, or does business with vacation rentals in Vermont is eligible to join. Members may serve in leadership roles and vote at the Annual Meeting. (Per federal tax guidelines, 70% of dues may be deducted as a business expense, as 30% is directed toward lobbying.)

Join Us in Powering Vacation Rental Tourism

Maximizing the community benefits of short-term rentals (STR) requires statewide coordination among responsible hosts, the local tourism industry, and government leadership.

The Vermont Short Term Rental Alliance (VTSTRA) works to accelerate the adoption of professional standards and reasonable regulations to ensure a vibrant and community-centric vacation rental economy in Vermont.
