Logan, UT Short-Term Rentals: Repeat Violator Strikes (2026)

Section 5.15.120 of the Logan Municipal Code is the enforcement section for short term rentals, and it has two tiers. Subsection (A) makes any person violating the chapter guilty of a class B misdemeanor, with enforcement action also available under section 17.60 of the Logan City Administrative Enforcement Code. Section 1.16.010 defines the class B penalty as a fine not to exceed $1,000, imprisonment in the county jail not to exceed six months, or both.

Subsection (B) is the strike rule. When there are three or more violations of Chapter 5.15 or the Logan City Land Development Code, committed by an owner or guest or any combination of the two, within any twelve month period, the city can proceed with revocation of the short term rental license for any short term rental property, depending on the nature or extent of the violations. The count mixes sources: a guest’s noise violation and an owner’s parking or zoning violation add up. Revocation follows Chapter 5.02, where § 5.02.150 lets the administrator suspend or revoke a license for violating the chapter or any other applicable ordinance or law, and requires notice of revocation to be mailed to the licensee by certified mail.

The licensee has an appeal route. Section 5.02.160 sets uniform appeals for business license actions, including revocation or suspension. Appeals are filed in writing with the business license administrator in the business license division within fifteen calendar days of the action being appealed, and an appeal not filed in that division does not meet the fifteen day limit. The license review board acts as the governing board over the appellate process for suspended, revoked, denied or non-renewed licenses. Section 5.02.170 addresses doing business after a license is denied, suspended or revoked.

Other provisions feed the count. Under § 5.15.070(C), a local contact’s failure to resolve complaints is a violation separate and independent from any other violation, and the city can act on it in addition to the underlying problem. Failure to renew within thirty days of expiration also exposes the license under § 5.15.060(B). A revoked or lapsed license sends the property back under the license limitations of § 5.15.090: three licenses per one thousand residents and a waiting list.
