long term rental shall pay fifty-five dollars ($55.00) to the City
by January 1st of each year. Regardless of any discount a Landlord

from each registration fee shall be appropriated to the Housing
Safety Office to cover the administrative expenses of the Rent
Board, including the hiring of additional administrative staff if
necessary.
(c) Short Term Rental Registration Fee Structure. The
registrant of a short term rental shall pay the fee specified in
the chart below. All fees will be cumulative and will increase
based on the number of total units registered by the owner. The
fee total will accumulate first by counting any owner occupied,
tenant occupied, and/or island rentals first, and then fees will be
attributed at the higher rate for any non-owner occupied mainland
units.
Owners and tenants may register more than one owner occupied
or tenant occupied unit (bedrooms, separate spaces, etc.) within
their primary residence.
