Senior city planner Sarah Hardgrave noted that short-term rentals are already occurring in the city despite a prohibition enacted by the council in 1997 against rentals of single-family residences for fewer than 30 days.
She said licensing and taxing them could bring the city an additional $200,000 a year in revenue. Those who fail to register rentals, respond to neighbors’ complaints or violate provisions of the ordinance would be subject to penalties.
Since code enforcement is little to none, is there a contact to rat on suspected party houses?
