*DCRA to Begin Accepting License Applications forShort-Term Rentals
Effective January 10, 2022*


*After a Grace Period, Short-Term Rental HostsMust Have Licenses by April
10, 2022*

The Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DCRA) will begin
accepting applications for residents to license short-term rentals —for 30
or fewer continuous nights—in the District beginning January 10, 2022. To
give short-term rental hosts enough time to get their required licenses,
there will be a 90-day enforcement grace period.

The new requirements are in adherence to the Short-Term Rental Regulation
Act of 2018
<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDIsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMTEyMjMuNTA3NzY4MDEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5kY3JlZ3MuZGMuZ292L0NvbW1vbi9Ob3RpY2VEZXRhaWwuYXNweD9Ob3RpY2VJZD1OMTE2NTQwIn0.Gj0XEJR7XNa58Lkk1NdpxyVH2av5CUTvGdNv7W1zMbE/s/737437960/br/123678779901-l>,
and corresponding regulations that were finalized earlier this month.

Whether you are simply seeking to share your space with others or want to
earn extra income by renting out your home, or a part of it, having a
Short-Term or Vacation Rental License may help you achieve your goals.
*Things to Know About Short-Term Rental Licensure

Two license types available to those wishing to conduct short-term rentals
in the District:

   1. *Short-Term Rental License*: Allows a host to offer fee-based lodging
   at their primary residence while the host is present on the property (for
   example, a bedroom within a home). As long as the host is present, there is
   no limit on the number of stays allowed during a calendar year; however,
   each short-term rental stay is limited to 30 or fewer continuous nights.
   2. *Short-Term Rental: Vacation Rental License*: A "Vacation Rental" is
   a type of short-term rental that allows a host to offer fee-based lodging
   at their primary residence without being present on the property (for
   example, a full home). Cumulatively, vacation rentals cannot exceed 90
   nights in any calendar year, and each rental is limited to 30 or fewer
   continuous nights.

Short-term rentals are limited to a host’s primary residence, which the law
defines as a property for which the owner is eligible for the Homestead Tax
Deduction. Only natural persons are eligible for short-term rental
licenses; business entities such as an LLC or corporation are not eligible.
*Cost to License*

The total cost for a two-year short-term rental license is $104.50, which
includes a $70 processing fee, a $25 endorsement fee, and a 10% technology
fee. The overall license cost is in line with or cheaper than other
comparable jurisdictions locally and nationally. As an example, the cost of
a two-year short-term rental license in San Francisco, California is $450.

Once the enforcement grace period ends on April 10, 2022, failure to comply
with the District’s short-term rental requirements may result in fines of
up to $250 for the first violation, escalating up to $1,000 for a third
violation. Violations can be reported to the District of Columbia
Short-Term Rental Hotline by calling 202-221-8550.
