Summary

Ogden will not pull a short-term rental license over a single parking or visitor complaint. Revocation requires a Hearing Officer's findings of fact, and even then a lone violation involving guest parking or visitors on the property is not enough by itself.

1. Revocation shall be based upon the findings of fact at an administrative hearing before a Hearing Officer, pursuant to Title 5, Chapter 1, Article C,, as such provisions may be applicable. ... ... 5. A short-term rental license may not be revoked for a single violation involving guests parking on the street or visitors on the property.

Full Breakdown

M sets up licensing consequences for repeated or serious noncompliance rather than isolated incidents. 1, giving the operator a chance to contest the record before the license is pulled. 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. 3. The city's short-term rental licensing is administered by the Building Services Division within Community and Economic Development.

Violations & Fines

A single guest-parking or visitor complaint cannot revoke an Ogden short-term rental license under § 15-13-38.M.5. Repeated or more serious violations, such as a documented nuisance pattern, sham transaction, or failure to maintain licensing conditions, can support revocation once a Hearing Officer makes findings of fact under M.1. Revocation carries a 30-day wind-down and a 3-year re-licensing bar.
