RE: Short-Term Rental listing at 114 Margin St
Dear Property Owner,
As a result of a recent review of rental properties, we have become aware that you may be offering your
home as a short-term rental within the City of Salem and that it may not be registered in accordance with
City Ordinance Section 15-6. We are reaching out to get you set up in Salem's Short-Term Rental (STR)
program, which is required for eligible property rentals of under 30 days.
Under the City Ordinance, anyone who is eligible to rent out their property to provide short-term lodging
is responsible for registering the property and obtaining a Certificate of Fitness from the City's Health
Department. If you registered the property prior to the Short-Term Rental Ordinance going into effect,
the property needs to be re-registered to comply with the new ordinance. This includes lodging arranged
through online sources.
Because some homeowners may not be aware of the new obligations regarding short-term rentals, the
City is offering an opportunity for eligible owners to comply with the registration requirement without
incurring penalties. Visit our website at www.salem.com/su for more information and there is a link to
register on the Harmari website. Please register with the Building Department as soon as possible to
avoid penalties.
Please feel free to contact us at 978-619-5640 with any questions you may have about the process and
the requirements under the ordinance. We would like to help you achieve compliance quickly and easily.
Failure to respond to this request may result in additional enforcement actions, including fines, and
could result in your ineligibility to continue using your property as a short-term rental.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Thomas St. Pierre
Building Commissioner
