Under § 152.062, compliant short-term rental operators in Park Rapids generally ensure that their units, agents, employees, and lessees continuously meet all requirements of Chapter 152, city ordinances, any special approvals, and state law. If a compliance order is issued, responding to it promptly and completely is the mechanism the code identifies for avoiding permit suspension or revocation. Operators should also be aware that if a permit denial or revocation proceeding is initiated, they are responsible for escrow fees covering hearing publication and legal costs, as set by the City Planner's fee schedule under Chapter 36.
