Title 22.140.290(I) establishes a three-strikes rule: any host receiving three citations within a 12-month period for short-term rental violations in unincorporated Los Angeles County loses the permit and is barred from reapplying for two years.
Title 22.140.290(I) lays out a graduated enforcement scheme administered by the Department of Regional Planning and the Treasurer Tax Collector. A first violation draws a written warning or administrative fine. A second violation within 12 months doubles the fine and adds a compliance plan. A third violation in the same window triggers automatic permit revocation, a two-year ban on reapplication at the same address, and platform delisting through the host-platform notice procedure. Counted offenses include exceeding the 30-night unhosted cap, operating without a permit, failing to remit Transient Occupancy Tax, generating verified noise or nuisance complaints, and providing false residency proof. Appeals run to the Hearing Officer.
Three short-term rental violations within a rolling 12-month window result in automatic permit revocation, a two-year reapplication bar at the same address, and forced removal from listing platforms under Title 22.140.290(I).
