Short-term Rentals

Initial Short-Term Rental Packet    |    Short-Term Rental Renewal Application

Short‑term rentals play an important role in Truth or Consequences’ local economy and neighborhoods. To operate a short‑term rental within city limits, homeowners are required to register with the City and maintain a current permit through the City Clerk’s Office, in accordance with City ordinances.

All short‑term rentals must hold a valid City business license, complete a short‑term rental application, and undergo inspection and annual renewal as required. These steps help ensure rentals meet basic safety standards, are properly registered, and remain in compliance with local regulations.

The City Clerk’s Office is the primary point of contact and authority for short‑term rental applications, renewals, and questions. Homeowners should work directly with the Clerk’s Office to submit required forms, confirm renewal status, and remain current with City requirements.

Updated application packets, renewal forms, and step‑by‑step guidance are available on this page to help homeowners easily register new short‑term rentals or renew existing permits. Operating a short‑term rental without a current registration or permit may result in enforcement action.
