Summary
Weber County tracks minor and major violations against a short-term rental license: three minor violations in 12 months triggers a fourth as a major violation, and hitting four minors in three months or two majors in three months revokes the license under Section 108-11-11.
After three Minor Violations within 12 consecutive months, the owner shall be issued a Major Violation on the fourth and subsequent occurrences. ... If a short-term rental unit has four minor violations within three consecutive months, or six minor violations within twelve consecutive months, the short-term rental license shall be revoked in accordance with the provisions of Section 102-4-3. ... If a short-term rental unit has two major violations within three consecutive months, or four major violations within twelve consecutive months, the short-term rental license shall be revoked in accordance with the provisions of Section 102-4-3.

Full Breakdown
Section 108-11-9 sets up a two-tier violation system for licensed short-term rentals. A Minor Violation covers any breach of the Section 108-11-8 operating standards; owners get one warning per 12 consecutive months, and if the problem persists they get three calendar days to correct it before it becomes a documented Minor Violation. " A Major Violation also results directly from a Responsible Agent's failure to respond to a complaint within the required timeframe. Unlicensed rentals get their own track: an Unlicensed Violation for renting without a license, with one warning before penalties apply.
Each violation carries an administrative penalty under Section 108-11-10 (50 percent of the advertised nightly rate for a minor violation, 100 percent for a major, 200 percent for an unlicensed violation, capped at the state maximum, plus a daily penalty for each day unresolved). "
Violations & Fines
Revocation for accumulated minor violations bars a new license for that unit for at least one year; revocation for accumulated major violations bars a new license for at least two years, per Section 108-11-11(a)(2) and (b)(2), unless a genuinely unaffiliated new owner applies. All revocations follow the procedure in Section 102-4-3.
