Short Term Rental Property
The short term rental ordinance allows Coralville homeowners to apply for a permit to rent their property for less than 90 days at a time. Ordinance 2016-1018 went into effect in September 2016.
What is a Short Term Rental?
A “short term rental” is any property rented for less than 90 continuous days. Short term rental properties require a Rental Housing Permit (for the permit application, see the "Resources" tab below).
Can I rent my home as an Airbnb?
Renting your home for short stays, such as an Airbnb, is considered a "short term rental" and you need a Rental Housing Permit. If your property is under a homeowner's association (HOA) or condo owner's association, check to see if the covenants allow property rentals or restrict short term rentals.
Requirements
Short term rentals of residential properties are allowed if:
- The property has a valid rental housing permit with the City and has passed rental inspection, and
- The unit is owner-occupied, and
- The owner is living on-site and is present the entire duration of the short term rental, and
- The owner pays hotel/motel tax for the first 30 days of the short term rental.
Violations
Under State law, cities may fine a property owner in violation of the ordinance a maximum of:
- $750 for first violation
- $1,000 per day the violation continues
