Short Term Rental Application

All short-term rental operators are required to obtain a permit from the City annually and pay transient occupancy taxes (TOT). This includes homes or other units, such as a garage apartment or backyard cottage, listed for rent on Airbnb, VRBO, HomeAway, and similar websites.

A short-term rental means the use of a residential unit for its intended purpose for a tenancy of 30 or fewer consecutive calendar days for a fee. If your rental is rented for more than 30 days at a time but you are advertising your property as available to rent short-term (i.e. on a nightly basis), then you must still obtain a Short-Term Rental Permit.
