Westfield ordinance would require permits, $150 fee and possible revocations for short‑term rental owners; final vote Oct. 12
A proposed Westfield City Council ordinance introduced Sept. 28 would require short‑term rental owners to obtain a city permit, pay a $150 fee, provide emergency contact info and face revocation after multiple code citations; the proposal returns for a final vote Oct. 12.
A proposed City of Westfield ordinance introduced at the Sept. 28 City Council meeting would require owners of short‑term rentals to obtain city permits before renting and would impose a $150 permit fee, the proposal states.
Under the draft rule, the city could temporarily revoke a short‑term rental permit for up to one year if an owner accumulates three or more city ordinance citations for issues such as noise, parking or maintenance within a calendar year; the ordinance also allows the city to assess penalties for the underlying violations.
