Plain English

Under Amesbury, Mass., Code of Bylaws CH. 376 § 376-4, operating a short-term rental in Amesbury requires an annual license, and each application must be accompanied by a $200 fee per rental unit. This fee is collected on a yearly basis, meaning it recurs with each renewal cycle rather than being a one-time charge. The provision establishes a flat, per-unit fee structure tied directly to the licensing process.
