Riverside County Ordinance 927 authorizes a graduated enforcement system. After repeated violations within a rolling twelve-month period, the county may suspend or revoke a short-term rental certificate, barring the property from operating again for a fixed cooling-off period.
Code Enforcement tracks complaints through the TLMA STR program. Verified violations such as noise after 10 p.m., over-occupancy, unpermitted events, or failure to respond to the county hotline accumulate against the certificate holder. After three substantiated violations within twelve months, the county initiates revocation proceedings that include written notice and an administrative hearing. A revoked property is generally ineligible to reapply for at least one year, and the underlying owner may be barred from holding STR certificates on other parcels during that period.
Three substantiated violations within twelve months trigger revocation and a one-year ban on reapplication for the parcel and owner.
