Cal. Civ. Code § 36-1-24-14
Revocation of a permit
Operative Text
Sec. 14. If three (3) or more citations for ordinance violations are issued to an owner for a permitted property within a calendar year, the unit may revoke the permit for that permitted property for a period of not more than one (1) year after the date the permit is revoked. The unit shall provide notice and a hearing for revocation in accordance with the unit's ordinance.
Under Indiana Code § 36-1-24-14, a local government unit has the authority to revoke a property permit for up to one year when an owner accumulates three or more ordinance-violation citations for that property within a single calendar year. The revocation is not automatic — the unit must follow its own ordinance procedures by providing the owner with notice and an opportunity for a hearing before any permit is pulled. This provision sets a ceiling of one year on how long a revocation may last, leaving the exact duration to the unit's discretion.

Ind. Code § 36-1-24-14 establishes a threshold that property owners and managers should be aware of: three or more ordinance-violation citations on a permitted property within one calendar year can trigger a permit revocation proceeding. Compliant operators generally work to resolve cited violations promptly and maintain records of corrective actions taken, reducing the risk of accumulating citations that could reach this threshold. When a revocation proceeding is initiated, the unit's ordinance governs the notice and hearing process, giving the owner a formal opportunity to respond before any decision is made.

Ind. Code § 36-1-24-14 gives tenants context for understanding what can happen to a rental property's permit when an owner repeatedly violates local ordinances — three or more citations in a calendar year can lead the local government unit to revoke the property's permit for up to one year. If you believe your rental property has accumulated multiple ordinance violations, you may consider contacting your local government unit to inquire about the status of the property's permit or any pending proceedings. Tenant-rights organizations in your area can help you understand how a permit revocation might affect your tenancy and what options may be available to you under local law.
