Summary
Santa Fe places direct compliance duties on short-term rental host platforms, not just owners. Section 14-6.2(A)(5)(o) requires every platform to make owners include a valid city permit or registration number in each listing, deactivate any listing the city flags as invalid within five business days, and file a monthly report of every listed property's URL and permit number.
(o)Host Platforms(i)A host platform shall require an owner or operator of a short-term rental unit to include a city -issued permit or registration number in all listings or advertisements for a short-term rental unit .(ii)Upon notice from the city that a permit or registration number on a short-term rental unit listing is invalid, the host platform shall deactivate that listing within five (5) business days.(iii)A host platform shall provide a monthly report to the city that includes the web address (URL) for each property listed on the host platform, together with the permit or registration number associated with that URL.
Full Breakdown
2(A)(5)(o) of the Santa Fe Land Development Code extends the short-term rental ordinance's compliance duties beyond the property owner to the platforms that host the listings. 2(A)(5)(b)(iii) to include that number in all advertising. Once the city notifies a platform that a listed permit or registration number is invalid, whether because the permit lapsed, was revoked, or never existed, the platform has five business days to deactivate that listing, giving the land use department a direct enforcement lever against listings it cannot reach through the owner alone.
The platform must also file a monthly report with the city that pairs the web address of every property it lists in Santa Fe with the permit or registration number tied to that listing, letting the land use department cross-check active listings against its own permit and registration rolls without searching each platform manually. 2(A)(5).
Violations & Fines
A host platform that fails to require a valid permit or registration number in listings, fails to deactivate a flagged listing within five business days, or fails to file the required monthly report violates Section 14-6.2(A)(5)(o); the section does not set a platform-specific fine, but a listing kept live without a valid number supports enforcement against the underlying owner or operator under Section 14-6.2(A)(5)(l).
