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

Ogden City Code § 15-13-38.M sets up licensing consequences for repeated or serious noncompliance rather than isolated incidents. Revocation must be based on findings of fact at an administrative hearing before a Hearing Officer under Title 5, Chapter 1, Article C, per subsection M.1, giving the operator a chance to contest the record before the license is pulled. Subsection M.5 then draws an explicit line protecting operators from a single-strike revocation: a short-term rental license may not be revoked for a single violation involving guests parking on the street or visitors on the property.

That means the city's Hearing Officer needs a pattern, or a more serious category of noncompliance such as a nuisance from noise or property maintenance violations, a sham transaction, or failure to maintain the conditions that justified the license, before parking or visitor issues alone support revocation. Once a license is revoked for cause, the consequences escalate: the rental use must terminate within thirty days under M.2, and the dwelling becomes ineligible for short-term rental use again for three years under M.3. The city's short-term rental licensing is administered by the Building Services Division within Community and Economic Development.
