A summary, read November 8, 2026. This is a short summary of what the official source below states. It is general information, not legal advice. Rules change — read the official source before you rely on it.
- Any property listed on a hosting platform must have an active short-term rental permit.
- An owner-occupied permit requires the owner to physically occupy the property at least 185 days a year, with two proofs of primary residence (such as a driver's license and vehicle registration — mail doesn't count).
- Non-owner-occupied permits applied for after December 26, 2019 are not allowed in single-family zones (R-E, R-1 6, R-1 9 and single-family PDZs); in other zones they must be 500 feet from another.
- The city states the permit costs $124.95 a year, not including sales tax license fees.
- Booking platforms collect and remit the city's sales tax; a host who takes bookings directly needs a City Sales Tax License.
- The permit, the Good Neighbor Guidelines, the local emergency contact, the permit number and its valid-through date must be displayed prominently in the unit.
- The permit is good for one year, with no grace period for late renewals.
