First weekend of VHR ordinance in South Lake Tahoe nets eight violators
Submitted by paula on Tue, 12/26/2017 - 3:25pm
Over the first weekend of enforcement of the new South Lake Tahoe Vacation Rental Ordinance, eight violations were issued at a price tag of $8,000.
Parking was the biggest offense with renters having more cars than allowed, something that caught many by surprise as they thought noise would bring in the most violations for vacation home rentals (VHR). Four citations were issued for parking, two for exceeding occupancy, one for parking and noise combination and one for being an unpermitted VHR.
The SLT City Council voted in the new ordinance to take effect December 22, 2017.
