Key Details

Two registration tiers exist: Hosted ($250 registration / $125 renewal) where the owner is on site during the rental, and Non-Hosted ($1,000 registration / $750 renewal).
Maximum overnight occupancy is the lesser of 2 persons per bedroom or 8 total occupants; gathering may not exceed 1.5 times overnight occupants; up to 4 children under age 13 are exempt.
Bedrooms must be at least 70 square feet, have a closet or in-suite bathroom, and have a means of egress to the outside.
Non-hosted owners/agents must be available by phone 24/7 and physically present at the property within 60 minutes when requested.
Non-hosted vacation rentals must install a noise level detection device, with data retained for 180 days and available to the City upon request.
Commercial liability insurance is required with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 aggregate, and $1,000,000 personal/advertising injury, with the City listed as a certificate holder for non-hosted rentals.
Annual safety inspection required for non-hosted rentals ($250 inspection fee, $125 rescheduling fee); failure to make property available within 20 days of City notice is a violation.
Registrations expire September 30th each year and must be renewed at least 60 days prior; renewals received after September 30th are processed as new applications.
