The ticket is nothing but an "appearance" ticket, where you have to appear in court and enter a plea. I told the court that I wasn't running a business, industrial or commercial and the judge set a court date for a "hearing" where I presented my argument.
You could do the same and enter a different argument, you could change your listing to a 30 day minimum stay, and under oath the code guy said that 30 day rentals were fine.
You don’t have a court ruling against you, and no fines have been issued, I took my posting down because I have a fine to consider, you don’t, … yet, but don’t let this scare you, these town officers are not police officers and have egos the size of Texas. You are not running a business, you are offering short term rentals that do not bring other than normal traffic to your street.
If the town is allowed to force us to take our profiles down they could use the same logic and put each piano teacher out of “business” for offering piano lessons, or every snow plow truck that parks in a driveway and has a profile online.
Don’t fold, this isn’t settled law by a long shot, this is a code enforcement officer that thinks his “general understanding” of the town code is all that matters.
