The rules, with their sources

Permit or licenseNone available: short-term rentals are prohibited, so there is no permit to apply for.L110-3-406(A) · code text · checked 2026-09-13
Transfer when the home sellsThe code creates no short term rental permit, license or registration, so there is nothing that could transfer to a buyer. The prohibition is a zoning use restriction that attaches to the property, so a new owner inherits it in full: 10-3-406(A) prohibits single family transient use and 10-3-406(B) requires the initial lease term to be at least one year. No family, heir, spouse, trust, entity or LLC exception appears anywhere, because no permit exists to carry an exception. The only carve out in 10-3-406(B) is for transitional housing, emergency shelters, congregate care facilities and supportive housing, which is a housing type exemption and not a transfer exemption.L110-3-406 · code text · checked 2026-09-13
