Sacramento STR permits face revocation after repeated violations such as noise complaints, occupancy breaches, or unpermitted operation, with a strike-based escalation framework administered through code enforcement and Title 5.
Sacramento's short-term rental program tracks verified violations against each permit holder. Substantiated complaints, including amplified-music violations under the noise ordinance, occupancy-limit breaches, and parking violations, accumulate against the permit. Three substantiated violations within a 12-month window can trigger permit revocation by the Community Development Director after a written notice and appeal opportunity to the Hearing Examiner. Revoked permits typically carry a multi-year reapplication bar. The program coordinates with SacPD for after-hours response and uses a 24-hour hotline staffed by the host or designated agent.
Three substantiated violations within 12 months trigger revocation proceedings; ignoring code-enforcement notices accelerates permit suspension and may bar future STR permits at the property.
