Violations & Fines
Any violation of Chapter 8.09, including a failure to give or post the noise notice, draws a fine of $490 per violation per day under § 8.09.080(A); each day of continued noncompliance counts as a separate violation. The city may also issue a cease-and-desist order or seek a court injunction to stop the rental. A unit tied to three or more substantiated violations, noise or otherwise, within one year becomes permanently ineligible for short-term rental registration under § 8.09.060(D), and enforcement runs through R.R.O. Chapter 1.12, Article II or III per § 8.09.080(B).
