Palm Desert wants short-term rentals to pay up
The newspaper has a story on short-term rentals in Palm Desert. It says: "The Palm Desert City Council preliminarily approved tough new penalties Thursday on vacation rental owners who don't register their homes with the city and pay transient occupancy tax to the city. A consultant hired by Palm Desert has, so far, found more than 60 unregistered vacation rental homes within its limits, which under the ordinance could be fined up to $1,000 the first time they're caught and up to $5,000 for the fourth within 12 months. Penalties for violating other parts of the ordinance range from $250 to $2,500." Miss Penny Lane says: She's ready for wonderful week at Palermo even though the time change has made her sleepy.

Palm Desert Hotel lobby at work
It's called an even playing field. Sick of the short term rentals in Sunburst ignoring the rules.
Exactly. Our HOA doesn't allow short term rentals; we all agreed to those rules, so let's all abide by them.
Yes!
More likely residents of Palm Desert tired of a few owners trying to create a hotel atmosphere in residential communities at work. Owners that don't live on site and ignore the rules designed to keep a community a community are the problem. Not the Hotel lobby.
