Code enforcement proposes annual inspections and fee hike for short‑term rentals

Shane Diller, the city's code enforcement director, presented an ordinance to establish an inspection program for short-term rentals (STRs). The plan includes annual interior and quarterly exterior inspections, an inspection before initial registration, and a team dedicated to finding unregistered STRs, particularly in multifamily complexes. Diller explained enforcement changes intended to preserve the ability to revoke registrations for significant or recurring violations rather than being forced to wait for three identical violations.
