Full Breakdown
Under LVMC 6.75.110, the Director of the Department of Business Licensing can suspend or revoke a short-term residential rental license for a particular unit once that unit racks up a second or subsequent violation of Chapter 6.75 within any 24-month period. The license holder can appeal the decision to the City Council or its designee. The same track record follows the operator into renewal: the City can deny a license renewal or a new application if the applicant was found guilty of, or determined liable in a civil proceeding for, any Chapter 6.75 violation. Fines back this up. LVMC 6.02.460 sets a $1,000 civil fine per violation (or the nightly rental value, if higher) for a licensed operator, rising to $1,000-$10,000 per violation for anyone renting short-term without a license at all, with the amount weighted by violation history.
Violations & Fines
Second violation on the same unit within 24 months triggers suspension/revocation review; per-violation civil fines run $1,000-$10,000.
