(A) Permit shall be valid for 12 months from the date of issuance, and shall automatically expire and become null and void on the anniversary date of its issuance or upon sale or transfer of the property. The Permit shall be renewed annually to remain valid. An invalid permit is equivalent to not having a permit.
(B) An owner may apply for a permit renewal on a form provided by the city submitted at least 60 days prior to the expiration of his or her active short-term rental permit. The permit renewal application shall be processed in the same manner as an application for a new permit and shall be approved or denied as set forth in § 37.008. Applications received after the deadline but before the expiration of the permit may be accepted at the discretion of the Permit Administrator.
(C) Payment of the renewal fee shall be paid with the submission of the permit renewal application.
(D) Permit renewals are subject to any intervening changes in this chapter and renewal shall be denied if the short-term rental no longer qualifies under the requirements of this chapter, unless specifically exempted therefrom.
(E) If a renewal application is not submitted and the fees not paid by the expiration of the existing permit, the owner is required to submit an application for a permit as if it was a new short-term rental accompanied by an application fee and a late penalty fee. The short-term rental may also be subject to an inspection conducted by city staff.
