Bill > H0452

This bill amends existing law to revise how cities and counties may regulate short-term rentals or vacation rentals. The bill prohibits counties and cities from enacting or enforcing any ordinance that has the effect of prohibiting short-term rentals or vacation rentals throughout their jurisdiction. However, the bill allows counties and cities to implement reasonable regulations they deem necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare, and to protect the integrity of residential neighborhoods where these rentals operate. The bill also states that short-term rentals or vacation rentals must be classified as a residential land use for zoning purposes, subject to all applicable zoning requirements. Additionally, the bill prohibits counties and cities from regulating the operation of a short-term rental marketplace.
