AirBNB - Any way to check local short-term rental bylaws online?
Hi everyone! Hubby and I are researching and going to purchase our first property somewhere warm in Fall 2020. Is there some sort of resource online that I can access to see what current bylaws are in areas of interest? I realize they can change by the time we're buying (I'm a realtor in Canada) yet am hoping there are some resources I can access. Thanks so much!

This is a very heterogenous subject, online resources are going to vary from municipality to municipality. Your best bet would be to contact the governing authorities directly in the geographic market you are interesting in purchasing your first property.
btw, congrats on deciding to purchase and not arbitrage.
