Summary
Henderson terminates a short-term vacation rental's registration after two Level I violations or three Level II violations within any 12-month period, plus a two-year ban on re-registering the property.
Termination of Registration. Where any of the following has occurred, the enforcement official shall initiate the process to terminate the registration of the short-term vacation rental:
i. The approved short-term vacation rental has been the subject of two or more distinct Level I violations as provided in HMC Subsection 19.35.5.C.3 in any consecutive 12-month period, or three or more distinct Level II violations as provided in HMC Subsection 19.35.5.C.3 in any consecutive 12-month period.
ii. The approved short-term vacation rental has been the subject of three or more distinct violations of HMC Chapter 15.12 or other applicable laws or regulations related to the prevention of nuisance in any consecutive 12-month period.
iii. The short-term vacation rental registration application or supporting information supplied by the owner contains false, misleading or erroneous statements concerning issues material to the approval of the application.
iv. The property has accumulated $3,000 or more in outstanding and past due fines for violations of the provisions of HMC Section 19.35.5.C.3 of this Code. For the purposes of this Subsection, “distinct” violation shall mean a violation of a distinct provision of HMC Section 19.35.5.C.3 or a repeated violation of the same provision separated in time rather than continuing daily.
Full Breakdown
Under Henderson Development Code § 19.35.5.C.2.d, the enforcement official must start termination proceedings once a registered short-term vacation rental racks up two or more distinct Level I violations, or three or more distinct Level II violations, in any rolling 12-month period. The owner gets 10 days to request an administrative hearing before the Director; without a timely request the registration automatically terminates. If terminated, the property cannot operate as a short-term vacation rental again for two years, except when termination follows an ownership change. Owners may appeal a termination decision to the City Council within 9 days.
Violations & Fines
Operating a short-term rental during the two-year post-termination ban, or after registration is suspended, draws the same fines as unregistered operation: $1,000 to $2,500 per day.
