What if my property is in a long term lease currently?

You may notify the county of your lease - providing a copy of the contract with expiration dates - and you will be removed from the STR requirement.  Should the lease terminate, and you choose to begin renting your property on a hosting site, or with a property management company for nightly rentals, you will be required to apply for a STR permit.
