Full summary

Council File 26-0600-S28 is a budget recommendation allocating resources within the 2026 city budget specifically for the Building and Safety Department's home-sharing ordinance enforcement program. Home-sharing enforcement involves oversight of short-term rental platforms, compliance verification, and penalties for unpermitted or non-compliant residential sharing activities—a significant enforcement priority for the city given concerns about housing availability, neighborhood impacts, and tax compliance. The file was introduced by Council on June 24, 2026, as part of the broader 2026 budget process. On July 7, 2026, it was referred to the Planning and Land Use Management Committee, the appropriate standing committee for land use and housing-related budget matters. The committee currently has the file and will review the budget allocation and recommend whether to approve the funding. The file remains open and active, with an expiration date of June 24, 2028. At this stage, the measure is awaiting committee review and recommendation before it would return to full Council for adoption as part of the final 2026 budget.
