Kansas City's STR program revokes registration for properties accumulating multiple validated nuisance complaints within a rolling twelve-month window, focusing on noise, occupancy violations, parking, and unaddressed neighbor complaints documented through 311 and KCPD calls.
City staff under Ch. 50 Art. XIV log nuisance citations, validated noise complaints over Ch. 56 thresholds, occupancy violations, and parking violations against registered STR addresses. The administrative rule pairs the registration with a strike record reviewed at renewal. Three validated strikes within twelve months generally trigger a show-cause hearing where the operator must explain or face revocation. Revocation typically bars re-registration for one to two years and notifies neighboring properties. Hosts can challenge alleged strikes in writing and at the hearing, which produces a record subject to administrative appeal.
Operating after revocation is treated as an unregistered STR, exposing the host to per-night civil fines, daily nuisance penalties under Ch. 50, and compounded noise enforcement penalties under Ch. 56.
