Summary

Broken Arrow requires hosting platforms to flag the license requirement, list license numbers, and pull unlicensed STR listings within three days or face liability.

A hosting platform shall provide a conspicuous notice to users listing STRs in the city that a city STR license is required. ... Upon written notice from the city that a listing lacks a valid license number or pertains to a suspended or revoked STR, a hosting platform shall remove or disable the listing within three business days. A hosting platform that complies with [subsections] (a)—(c) shall not be deemed in violation for user content posted without a valid license number.

Full Breakdown

Section 7-468.2 puts direct compliance duties on hosting platforms operating in Broken Arrow, not just on individual hosts. A platform must post a conspicuous notice to users that a city STR license is required, and must provide a dedicated field for the license number on every Broken Arrow listing. Once the city gives written notice that a listing lacks a valid license number, or covers a suspended or revoked STR, the platform has three business days to remove or disable it. A platform that meets those three duties is shielded from liability for user-posted content lacking a license number: a safe harbor that only applies if the platform actually complies.

Violations & Fines

A platform that ignores a removal notice past three business days, or omits the license-number field, loses the safe harbor and is exposed to liability under § 7-468.2; hosting platforms must comply within 60 days of the April 7, 2026 effective date.
