Reno STRs must register annually with the City of Reno Finance Department, pay the STR business license fee, complete a safety inspection, and provide neighbor notification. Permits are non-transferable.
STR registration in Reno is handled through the City of Reno Finance Department under RMC Chapter 4.05. The application requires: ownership documentation, site and floor plans, parking plan, emergency contact, proof of insurance, payment of fees, and a life safety inspection (smoke and CO detectors, fire extinguisher, egress). Neighbors within a set radius receive written notice of the pending STR. Permits are issued annually and tied to a specific property and owner; they cannot be transferred when the property is sold. Renewal requires current insurance and a clean compliance record.
Failure to register: fines up to 1,000 per day. Operating a revoked or expired permit: escalating penalties and liens.
