Manteca suspends a short-term lodging permit for six months after two rule violations in twelve months, and can revoke it after three violations or a second offense post-reinstatement.
Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, if any person violates any short-term lodging permit condition two or more times in any twelve month period or any other provision of this code, state law or federal law, two or more times in any twelve month period, and the violation relates in any way to the unit that has a short-term lodging permit, the short-term lodging permit for the unit may be suspended for a period of six months in accordance with subsection (B) of this section.

Full Breakdown
Municipal Code § 3.40.130 lays out an escalating strike system. Two or more violations of a permit condition, or of any code, state or federal law tied to the unit, within a twelve-month period can draw a six-month suspension. Three or more violations in twelve months, or any violation within six months of a suspended permit being reinstated, can lead to revocation instead. A unit inside a safety enhancement zone faces a one-year suspension or revocation after just one violation during that zone's active period.
Violations & Fines
The city manager's designee investigates, issues written notice of intent to suspend or revoke, and the owner can request a paid hearing before a hearing officer within thirty days.
