Full Breakdown
Broken Arrow runs its short-term rental enforcement on a strike ladder tied to verified complaints within any 12-month period: two verified complaints draw a 30-day suspension, three draw 90 days, and four or more draw 180 days. The city must revoke the license outright on a third verified complaint in that window, or immediately upon any serious incident such as a felony arrest, firearm discharge, or fire-code hazard. A revoked operator cannot reapply for 12 months. The city can also immediately suspend a license if the local responsible agent fails to respond within the required one hour. Every suspension or revocation comes with written notice and a right to a hearing.
Violations & Fines
Two verified complaints in 12 months triggers a 30-day suspension; three trigger revocation; a serious incident can bring immediate suspension, all under § 7-473.1(a)-(c), with a 12-month reapplication bar after revocation.
