Guest intent
This is not a coastal trip. Guests here are working to a schedule — a park opening, a convention session, a game, a show — and the things that matter in a listing change accordingly: how many people sleep comfortably, how the group travels, where the cars go, and how early the household can leave.
The operating reality
Read on the City’s short-term rental program pages on 2026-09-20.
Supply
A June 2019 ordinance, Chapter 4.05, reversed a 2016 ban and phase-out and allows most then-permitted rentals to continue under regulations and good-neighbour policies. The City states that the opening of entirely new short-term rentals remains prohibited.
Transfer
The City FAQ states the permit is not transferable, and that any change of ownership or address requires a new application within 14 days. Anyone buying on the assumption a permit comes with the house should get the City’s position in writing first.
Upkeep
Each permit is valid for one year from the date of issue. A City Business Tax Certificate is issued once the permit process is complete, along with a regulatory permit number used by Code Enforcement to verify compliance.
