Greensboro can suspend or revoke an STR registration when an operator accumulates repeated documented violations of Chapter 11, the Land Development Ordinance, or the noise code at a single property. There is no rigid statewide three-strike rule, but persistent nuisance behavior triggers escalating action.
City staff use a progressive enforcement approach for problem STRs. A first verified violation, such as an unpermitted special event or a confirmed noise complaint, typically generates a written warning. Additional violations within a defined lookback window can produce civil penalties under Chapter 11, registration suspension, and eventually revocation. Common triggers include amplified-music violations under Chapter 27, exceeding occupancy limits, parking on landscaped surfaces, and unpermitted event hosting. Owners may appeal adverse actions, but pending enforcement does not pause obligations to pay accumulated penalties or comply with conditions.
Three or more substantiated nuisance complaints, repeated Chapter 27 noise findings, or an unaddressed code-enforcement order can each support registration suspension followed by full revocation if violations continue.
