Full Notification

At this time, Rutherford County government, along with public health and safety officials, are requesting that the use of all short-term rentals be suspended in Rutherford County until further notice effective as of today, March 27, 2020. This action is consistent with actions taken by other counties and other communities across the state and nation and done for the purpose of stopping the spread of the COVID-19 virus due to human travel. The best available medical evidence confirms that human travel promotes the spread of this disease and the presence of visitors in Rutherford County has the potential to exacerbate the strain on the limited healthcare resources and facilities available within Rutherford County. This request is made to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 in a manner and at a pace that overwhelms ability of Rutherford County and its healthcare partners to respond effectively in the coming days.
