Anaheim Municipal Code Chapter 4.05 escalates enforcement against repeat short-term rental violators through stacked administrative citations, permit revocation where applicable, and referral for misdemeanor prosecution after multiple confirmed violations.
Repeat enforcement under Anaheim's STR ordinance follows an escalating ladder. A first confirmed violation typically generates an administrative citation and notice to abate. Subsequent violations within a rolling period increase fine amounts and can trigger revocation of any limited home-sharing permit, barring the property and operator from re-applying for a defined cooldown. After multiple substantiated violations, Code Enforcement may refer the matter for misdemeanor prosecution under AMC Title 1 general penalty provisions. Disneyland Resort-adjacent neighborhoods see the most aggressive enforcement due to the 2016 commercial STR ban and high tourist demand.
Multiple substantiated STR violations escalate to higher fines, permit revocation with cooldown periods, and possible misdemeanor charges under AMC Title 1.
