Registering a Short Term Rental Unit

If you are operating a short-term rental, you must first apply for a permit to be registered on the MUNIRevs portal. For access to the MUNIRevs portal, please email Planning Division Staff requesting your registration account number and access code. The specific account numbers for your property will be provided to you along with the MUNIRevs short-term rental registration guide.

The following documents must be provided when submitting a short-term rental permit application:

• Floor plan, with all rooms labeled including sleeping areas for guests.
• Site plan of the property, with the number of parking spaces labeled.
• A filled out tenant indoor notification sheet.

There is a $206 application fee that must be paid prior to submitting an application. The initial application fee includes the first life safety inspection fee.

Inspections

Annual life-safety inspections are required to renew your short-term rental permit. To schedule a life safety inspection, you will first need to pay the $128 renewal fee on the MUNIRevs portal. Once you have paid the renewal fee, you can schedule an inspection with the Fire Marshal’s Office here. An updated STR decal will be mailed to your mailing address once you have passed your annual inspection.

HOT Taxes (Hotel/Motel Tax)

Hotel Occupancy Tax filings and payments are due on a monthly basis through the MUNIRevs portal. For additional information on HOT Taxes, please visit the City’s Finance HOT Tax Information page.

Transferabililty

A short term rental permit is transferable to a new property owner. The new property owner must submit an Ownership Transfer Form to City Planning Division Staff at City Hall. Upon review and approval of the ownership transfer form, a MUNIRevs registration guide will be emailed to them. The $128 life safety inspection fee must be paid through the MUNIRevs portal. Once the new property owner has paid for the inspection fee, they can proceed to schedule an inspection with the Fire Marshal’s Office. An updated STR decal will be mailed to the updated mailing address once the inspection has passed.
