Vacation Rentals Ordinances to take effect in parts of Monterey County in October of 2024

 

County of Monterey Vacation Rentals Ordinances, which regulate vacation rental operations in Inland

unincorporated Monterey County, will take effect October 14, 2024. Vacation Rentals Ordinances will

not take effect for the county’s Coastal Zone until they are certified by the California Coastal

Commission.

The Inland Vacation Rentals Ordinances were passed and adopted by the Board on August 27. On that

day, the Board also approved a Resolution of Intent to approve Coastal Vacation Rental Ordinances

after review and certification by the Coastal Commission. On September 10, 2024, the Board also

adopted ordinances requiring annual licenses and registrations for vacation rental operators.

These new Ordinances establish three types of Vacation Rentals:

• Homestays are allowed countywide and require the property owner stay in the home while it is

rented.

• Limited Vacation Rentals are allowed countywide and allow a house to be rented three times

or fewer per year.

• Commercial Vacation Rentals are not allowed in Big Sur, Carmel Highlands, Moss Landing

residential zones, and Carmel Valley residential zones. Outside these areas, Commercial

Vacation Rentals may be allowed subject to approval of a Use Permit (Inland) or Coastal

Development Permit (Coastal). Commercial Vacation Rentals allow a whole house rental more

than three times per year.

All three types of Vacation Rentals require approval of a “Vacation Rental Operator’s Permit” from the

County of Monterey Housing and Community Development and registration with the Treasurer/Tax

Collector. Commercial Vacation Rentals additionally require a Use Permit (Inland) or Coastal

Development Permit (Coastal).

• All unpermitted vacation rentals currently operating in the Inland area must submit an application

or come into compliance by April 14, 2025.

• Previously permitted vacation rentals in the Inland area must comply with the new regulations once

their permit expires or within seven years, whichever is sooner.

The Ordinance will not take effect in the county’s Coastal Zone right away because of an additional

requirement. The new coastal regulations must be submitted and certified by the California Coastal

Commission, which has oversight in the state’s coastal zones, before it can go into effect. (See Coastal

Zone map below)

Those with questions about how these ordinances apply to them can contact the County of Monterey

Permit Center at 831-755-5025 or find more information at: Vacation Rental Ordinances (Coastal &

Inland) | County of Monterey, CA
