Spokane can revoke or deny renewal of STR registrations for repeat code violations under SMC Ch. 17C.355, with escalating penalties for noise, occupancy, or parking infractions documented over time.
Spokane STR registration is annual and contingent on continued compliance. Repeated documented violations of noise rules, occupancy limits, parking standards, or other STR conditions can result in registration suspension or revocation under Ch. 17C.355. Code enforcement maintains complaint and citation records tied to each registered property. While Spokane lacks a formal numbered strike system like some California cities, the cumulative-violations pattern is grounds for non-renewal. Operators with revoked registrations face additional barriers to re-registration.
Accumulating multiple validated noise, occupancy, or nuisance complaints can trigger STR registration suspension, revocation, and denial of future renewals under SMC Ch. 17C.355.
