A quick internet search at Airbnb even has a 2 week old new home available

Access Denied

This home is on Newel Loop; new construction with building going on around it.
They're supposed to be paying the tourism tax (not to the developers but to the county). Short term rentals are subject to that tax. Any homeowner who rents their home for short-term use, who is /not/ paying the tourism tax, is violating the law.

You don't call community standards for that. You call the tax department of whichever county the property is in.
