If you do not have an online account, you must create one now. Here’s how:
(Only for operators who already have a ZTRHP permit issued to them.)
- Go to the Licenses and Permits portal and create an account: https://elam.cityofmadison.com/CitizenAccess/Default.aspx
- If you already have an online accountt, we can use that account. You will need to email us to tell us what email address you used (Step 2, below).
- Reply to zoningTRH@cityofmadison.com. Tell us what email address you used to create your account. It may take up to one week to get the new account linked to your ZTRHP permit.
- Wait for us to link your ZTRHP permit account to your email address. We will let you know when we have linked your account.
- Go to your online account (STEP B, above) and renew your ZTRHP permit.
Renewal is not complete until you turn in the ZTRHP-R Renewal form and pay the $100 annual fee. After June 30, we add a $100 late fee to all renewals. If you do not renew your permit, on June 30 you must:
- Remove all short-term rental listings and advertising.
