Finding ways to regulate and tax Internet-based travel accommodations such as Airbnb and other rental websites may be on the agenda for Georgia lawmakers when they convene in January. It’s an issue that reverberates across Hall County, where short-term rentals of homes on Lake Lanier have caused some controversy. For example, just last week the county Marshal’s Office opened an investigation on a Northlake Road lake home that has operated as a short-term, vacation rental without proper permitting.
