Short Term Rental Property permits are only valid for 365 days and must be renewed annually before the current permit expiration date. Owners are responsible for filing a timely renewal application.
To Renew a Short Term Rental Property permit:
Effective January 1, 2022, Metro Codes Department will no longer mail Short Term Rental renewal notification letters.
Beginning November 1, 2021, renewal notifications will be emailed to the permit holder (owner) and to the contact person or company on file 60 days prior to permit expiration. The email will contain instructions and a renewal code to access the permit electronically. Once the permit is accessed, you will need to upload the affidavit for review. Once approved, a new email will be sent with instructions of how to pay for the renewal online.
Signed and notarized affidavit
If the permit has not been renewed, a second renewal notification email will be sent 45 days prior to permit expiration. It will contain the same renewal instructions as the first email notification.
It is the permit holder's responsibility to make sure their short term rental permit is in good standing and renewed annually.
