This application is for a license authorizing rental for periods of 30 days or more. For rental periods of less than
30 days, a vacation dwelling unit interim use permit is required, where codes allow.
You are not allowed to rent or advertise this property until your license has been issued.
City ordinance requires that before renting out your home, you obtain a rental license. You must submit a
completed rental license application and the required fees. Once all information has been verified, a housing
inspector will contact you to schedule an initial inspection of the property. The purpose of the inspection is to
identify code corrections necessary. Upon verification that the property meets minimum housing code
requirements, the rental license will be issued. If the inspector identifies code violations during the
inspection, a re-inspection will be done to verify all corrections have been properly made.
Parking Spaces:
Owners are required to provide a minimum of 2 parking spaces for up to a 3-bedroom home. If you have
more than 3 bedrooms, you will need one additional parking space for each additional bedroom. Each parking
space needs to be a minimum of 9’ wide x 17’ long. An inspector will verify this before a license will be issued.
Required for a Rental License:
1 Bedroom 2 Spaces
2 Bedrooms 2 Spaces
3 Bedrooms 2 Spaces
4 Bedrooms 3 Spaces
A code official will require the construction of additional parking if they determine there is space on the rental
property to provide or construct the required off-street parking space(s) in conformance with the Code. If it is
determined that adequate parking cannot be provided, there is a $100.00 non-conforming parking spot fee for
each spot not provided.

Rental licenses will be issued for a maximum of 4 legal bedrooms, except those properties which are larger
than 2,500 square feet as of July 13, 2017, which will be allowed up the maximum of five legal bedrooms.
