Raleigh enforces STR rules through escalating civil penalties under City Code Ch. 12, with daily fines accruing for continuing violations. Repeat noncompliance can lead to permit revocation and referral to the city attorney for injunctive relief.
Although Raleigh lacks a formal three-strikes statute, the UDO permits revocation of zoning approvals for sustained noncompliance, and Ch. 12 authorizes per-day civil penalties that compound for ongoing breaches. RPD coordinates with the planning department on noise, parking, and overcrowding complaints documented at STR addresses. After multiple substantiated complaints, the planning director may initiate revocation proceedings. State law and the Schroeder ruling constrain Raleigh from delisting via direct platform enforcement, so the city relies on owner-side civil penalties.
Continuing violations after written notice incur daily civil penalties, possible permit revocation, and civil action filed by the city attorney to abate a public nuisance.
