LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The city of Jeffersonville will take new steps to regulate short-term rentals in the city.

WDRB has been investigating the explosive growth of short-term rentals, listed on websites like Airbnb and VRBO, in the southern Indiana city.

Jeffersonville currently doesn't regulate or keep track of those properties.

The city council was weighing a moratorium, or a temporary pause, on all new short-term rentals but ultimately decided against it. 

Instead, the council voted to establish a registry and update the city's zoning regulations to create an approval process for new short-term rentals.

The council gave the planning department 90 days to implement the new changes.
