(a) No short-term rental host shall engage in, conduct, or carry on, or permit to be engaged in, conducted or carried on, in or upon any premises in the Village of Granville, a short-term rental operation without obtaining a valid permit in accordance with this chapter. It shall be prima facie evidence of a short-term rental operation if a short-term rental is offered on a hosting platform, or if a short-term rental guest is found to be occupying or using a short-term rental.
(b) An application for a new permit may be submitted at any time to the Director. If the application is approved and a valid permit is issued, the permit shall take effect on the day of issuance, and shall expire two calendar years from the day of issuance. If a valid permit is issued in conjunction with and contingent upon an explicit and consensual term lease agreement, as contemplated in Section 1182.08, the permit shall take effect on the day of issuance and shall expire upon the last day of the applicant's leasehold term or at the end of two calendar years from the day of issuance, whichever occurs first.
