Atlanta's STR ordinance authorizes license suspension or revocation after repeated violations of nuisance, noise, occupancy, or parking standards, with three substantiated complaints in a 12-month period typically triggering review by the Department of City Planning.
Ord. 16-O-1399 established a structured strike-style enforcement system for Atlanta STRs. Substantiated violations of city noise, parking, occupancy, or fire-code rules tied to a licensed property accrue against the license. After three substantiated complaints within a rolling 12-month window, the Department of City Planning may initiate suspension or revocation proceedings, with notice and opportunity to be heard. License revocation typically triggers a one-year ban on reapplication for that property. Property owners and the local responsible party each receive notice. APD nuisance reports, AFRD fire inspections, and Code Enforcement actions all feed the strike count.
Three substantiated nuisance, occupancy, or noise violations in 12 months can trigger license suspension or full revocation with a one-year reapplication ban for the property.
