Vacation Home Rentals (VHRs)

For current COVID-19 restrictions, visit the California Blueprint for a Safer Economy website. State industry guidance for hotels, lodging and short term rentals provides detailed information for Vacation Rentals. 

Permitting Process for New VHRs

A VHR is defined as an entire property rented for fewer than 30 consecutive calendar days. A VHR permit is required for all properties meeting the definition of a VHR (entire home). New Vacation Home Rental Permits are not allowed in residential areas.

How can I find what areas are permitted?
