Camarillo ADUs may be rented as long-term housing (30+ days). Short-term rental (under 30 days) of an ADU is restricted by state law (Gov. Code §65852.2(a)(6)) and CMC Chapter 19.56 — ADU rentals must be for terms of more than 30 days. JADUs additionally prohibit short-term rental by recorded deed restriction.
Under California Gov. Code §65852.2(a)(6), local agencies may prohibit short-term rental of ADUs. Camarillo's CMC Chapter 19.56 conforms to the state-law definition: ADU rentals must be for terms longer than 30 days, effectively excluding ADUs from typical Airbnb-style short-term rental use. Long-term rental is permitted by right. For JADUs, the requirement is even stricter — state law (Gov. Code §65852.22) and CMC 19.56 require a recorded deed restriction that prohibits using the JADU as a short-term rental for any period less than 31 days. The ADU itself cannot be sold separately from the primary dwelling under existing CMC standards (AB 1033 condo-conversion is permissive but not adopted by Camarillo by default — verify current city policy before assuming separate-sale eligibility). Long-term tenant protections under the California Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) apply to ADUs rented as primary residences.
Renting an ADU for less than 31 days violates CMC 19.56 and the recorded deed restriction (for JADUs), enforceable as a CMC Title 19 zoning violation via administrative citation, with continuing daily violations escalating in fine amount. Operators also expose themselves to back-tax assessment for unpaid Transient Occupancy Tax.
