NOAA Weather Radios are required by ordinance in all short-term rentals in Ruidoso to support guest safety and emergency preparedness. These radios provide real-time alerts for flooding, wildfire, and severe weather, even when cell service or power is limited. Learn how hosts can comply and where radios are available.

The Village of Ruidoso will launch a new short-term rental software platform in September, enhancing customer service, compliance, and transparency. The system features AI tracking, a public portal with STR contact info, automated reminders, and a 24-hour complaint hotline. Learn more on the Village’s STR webpage.
