Steyer could face $20,000 civil penalty per county ordinance if found to be in violation
The Globe received a scoop this morning that a complaint was filed by a Douglas County resident with the Vacation Home Rental (VHR) Advisory Board against billionaire climate investor Tom Steyer, owner of the Glenbrook mansion that the First Family is renting while on a nine-day vacation in Lake Tahoe.
The complaint reportedly cites that Steyer does not have a VHR permit for his $18 million waterfront manse. If found to be in violation, Steyer could be subject to a $20,000 civil penalty per county ordinance.
This morning, The Globe reached out to the VHR board via email and received a reply from the Program Manager/Head of Code Enforcement Ernie Strehlow that states: “Several inquires have been received on this address. We cannot comment further as we are actively investigating any Douglas County Nevada code violations on this rental.”

Steyer, the California founder of Farallon Capital and co-founder of Onecalifornia Bank and Beneficial State Bank, was the single largest funder of efforts to impeach President Trump before deciding to seek the Democratic nomination himself in 2020.

In a nutshell, the Biden's are vacationing in a home which is not permitted as a rental in Lake Tahoe.
The NY Post reported the Bidens are paying "fair market value" for the vacation rental.
Nothing will happen. He’s a Democrat.
$20K fine! Oh noes!!!
That is like; Lunch with parking and tips for this guy.
$20K is like an intraminutular (made that word up) variation in the market value of his hedge fund.
Vacation Home Rental (VHR) Advisory Board
OMG! Is there anything left that has not been regulated?
I guess the real complaint is they did not get their cut.
But I would also hazard a guess that in this case the “fair market value” of the property will be listed as $0.00.
“the Bidens are paying “fair market value” for the vacation rental”
*************
It all depends on what the meaning of “fair” is. Truth be known the Biden’s rental is probably well below the going rate.
In addition to the $20K penalty, there is the possibility of tax implications and criminal charges. It appears the complaints were filed by Lake Tahoe neighbors.
At least he got a little hoist with his own petard.
Goons and thugs in the FBI and DOJ will be investigating the person who complained and turned the Biden's in... The ONLY crime that matters is one that makes 'elties' uncomfortable.
$20,000 will be pocket change.
White privilege at its best!
He could find that under one of his couch cushions.
Yup—the SWAT team is getting organized as we speak....
The local must be one of those “haters” and “insurrectionists”.
“3. The transitory nature of occupants of vacation homes makes continued enforcement against the occupants difficult. The provisions of this chapter are necessary to prevent the continued burden on County services and impacts on residential neighborhoods and homeowners adjacent to a vacation rental home”
“continued burden”
Or maybe a parent who objects to pornography in the local grade school library... lots of people the FBI and DOJ want to shut down.
INTERESTING
Democrats are NEVER EVER EVER held accountable for anything so nothing will happen
“• The owner has failed to either collect or remit to the County the transient occupancy and lodging taxes and monthly rental reports;”
$20,000 to this guy is like the dime you found under your car seat
Nice find! Thank you for your diligence.
