You need to renew both long-term and short-term licences annually. Follow these steps to renew.
First time applying? Apply for a long-term licence (over 30 days) or a short-term licence (30 days or less, e.g. Airbnb).

The first renewal is on March 31. After that, licences renew based on the property’s street name:
The first renewal fee will be prorated to cover the time between March 31 and your assigned renewal date – for example, 16 months for an August 31 renewal or 20 months for a November 30 renewal.
Provide these forms every year:
Provide these every 5 years:
All forms must be current and dated within the past year.
