Proposed Rule Revisions
Chapters 2 and 10 Rulemaking: Short-term Rentals
Chapter 2 contains definitions for terms used in the Commission’s rules and policies. The Chapter 10 rules establish land use standards for lands within the Maine Land Use Planning Commission’s service area.

The proposed rule changes and background information can be found on the project website.

Chapter 10 Rulemaking: Accessory Structures
Chapter 10 rules establish land use standards for lands within the Maine Land Use Planning Commission’s service area.
