Short-Term Rentals
A City permit is required to rent a dwelling for less than 30 days at a time. A person may be issued only one short term rental permit.
The owner of the dwelling may apply for a short term rental permit by completing the application form(see Related Information in sidebar) and submitting the Initial Fire & Life Safety Inspection and Evaluation fee of $75.
Upon approval of the dwelling by the Building Official, the owner of the dwelling may be issued a short term rental permit. For dwellings in zones other than R-2, R-3 and SR/R the permit is issued immediately.
The number of short term rental permits is limited in the R-2, R-3 and SR/R zones to 17 1/2 % of the total number of dwellings within those zones. For a dwelling inspection approved by the Building Official which is within the R-2, R-3 or SR/R zone, the owner of the dwelling may be placed on a waiting list until a permit becomes available.
The short term rental permit lapses upon sale of the property or upon failure to submit the required short term rental annual license fee of $150 or upon failure to submit the required quarterly transient lodging tax reports.
