Full Breakdown
The Supervisor of Licenses can suspend, revoke, or deny a home sharing/short-term rental license if the licensee is delinquent on Chapter 52 taxes, racks up two or more convictions, no-contest pleas, or guilty pleas for Code violations connected to the rental or its parcel within a 24-month span, breaks any part of the home-sharing article, or triggers a Chapter 26-19 ground for suspension. The Supervisor investigates under Chapter 26 procedures before acting. Once a license is suspended, revoked, or denied under this section, the Supervisor cannot approve a new home-sharing license for that same property address for one full year, regardless of who applies.
