What happens when a 90-acre Property collides with small-town politics and zoning boards?
In this episode of STR Law, real estate attorney and Airbnb investor Katie Johnson sits down with Ali Haney—short-term rental owner, branding expert, and host of The Branded Market Podcast. Ali shares how she bought a 90-acre property in rural Kentucky to build a wedding venue with on-site stays, only to face neighbor backlash, packed hearings, and a conditional use permit loaded with 18 conditions.
You’ll learn:
How informal “zoning green lights” can fall apart at the hearing
What conditional/special use permits really look like in practice
How neighbor opposition can reshape (or kill) your business model
How Allie pivoted from wedding venue plans to a successful STR
If you’re an STR host, investor, or aspiring venue owner, this real-life zoning story is a must-listen before your next deal. 🎙️
