While the short-term rental permit must be issued to a natural person, the property itself does not need to be owned by a natural person. Upon receiving a permit from the City, hosts are required to notify neighbors within 200 feet and submit a mailing list and signed affidavit of mailing to the Land Use Director within 10 days.

Hosts in non-residentially zoned properties must obtain a registration number for each short-term rental as well as a business license.

As part of the application process, all hosts must submit local contact person information, a certificate of occupancy, a signed statement affirming compliance with all applicable laws, and the following fees:

  • Application fee: $100
  • Permit or registration fee: $290
  • Business license fee: $35
