Full Breakdown

Under the City's Short-Term Rental Ordinance, every application for a short-term rental permit, occupied or non-occupied, must state the number and location of off street or on site parking spaces allotted to the premises. Once a permit issues, the operator must post a legible copy inside the unit that prominently lists the agent's contact information, the permit number, the maximum occupancy, and the maximum number of vehicles that may be parked at the unit, so guests and inspectors can see the parking cap on site.

Violations & Fines

Operating without a permit, or violating chapter requirements including posted parking limits, exposes the owner to permit revocation and a $500 fine per fully adjudicated violation in municipal court; repeat violations at one property can bar new permits for up to 12 months.
