Richmond may revoke or deny renewal of short-term rental registration for hosts with repeated code, noise, or zoning violations, deploying a strike-style enforcement structure under RVA Ch. 30 and Ch. 44.
Repeat violations, including substantiated noise complaints, occupancy overages, parking infractions, or building code failures at a registered STR property, may trigger registration revocation, denial of renewal, or zoning enforcement under RVA Ch. 30 and Ch. 44. Richmond's Department of Planning and Development Review oversees STR registration and tracks violations across registration cycles. Hosts receive notice and an opportunity to cure or appeal before revocation. Once revoked, the property cannot be re-registered for a defined cooling-off period, and operating without registration becomes its own enforcement target.
Three or more substantiated violations within a registration cycle may lead to non-renewal, revocation, civil penalties, and zoning citations.
