Send out a renewal neighborhood notice letter

This is required as part of the permit application and each renewal. A neighborhood notice lets neighbors know about the accessory short-term rental. The notice gives neighbors contact information and explains accessory short-term rental regulations. Fill out and mail or deliver a neighborhood notice letter to neighbors before your new application and again with each renewal.
