Rentals.Under Truro, Mass., Gen. Bylaws ch. 2 § 1 — Short-Term Rental § 2-1-4, the Select Board is granted authority to create and issue regulations that implement and enforce the town's rental bylaw, covering both short-term and long-term rentals. The Board may also establish fee schedules for the Certificates of Registration required for short-term rental operations. This provision is essentially an enabling clause — it defines the scope of the Select Board's regulatory and fee-setting power rather than imposing a specific obligation on any party.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 2-1-4, operators of short-term rentals in Truro should be aware that the Select Board has broad authority to issue implementing regulations and to set registration fees, meaning the compliance landscape can evolve as the Board exercises that authority. A compliant operator generally monitors official Select Board announcements and town postings for any newly promulgated regulations or updated fee schedules affecting Certificates of Registration. Staying current with any regulations issued under this provision is a standard part of maintaining a lawful short-term rental operation in Truro.

Section 2-1-4 of Truro's short-term rental bylaw establishes that the Select Board can issue regulations governing both short-term and long-term rentals, which means tenant protections or rental standards could be shaped by rules the Board promulgates under this authority. Tenants who believe a rental arrangement may not comply with town regulations can consult the Town of Truro's offices or a local tenant-rights organization to understand what rules the Select Board has put in place. Keeping track of any regulations issued under § 2-1-4 can help tenants understand the full scope of their rights under Truro's rental framework.
