Roseville ADUs may only be rented for terms of 30 days or more, per California Government Code §65852.2(a)(7). Roseville Municipal Code Chapter 4.25 (Short-Term Rentals) expressly prohibits short-term rental of any ADU or JADU. The city paused issuing new STR permits on February 13, 2023 and STRs require the dwelling to be the operator's primary residence — ADUs are excluded entirely from the STR program.
California Government Code §65852.2(a)(7) requires that all ADUs permitted after January 1, 2020 be rented only for terms of 30 days or more. RMC Chapter 4.25 (Short-Term Rentals) explicitly prohibits short-term rental of any ADU or JADU on a Roseville parcel, even when the primary dwelling on the same lot is permitted as an STR. The STR ordinance limits permits to the operator's primary residence and caps each STR at 182 rented nights per year, six guests at any time, and one STR permit per parcel. New STR permit applications have been paused since February 13, 2023; only existing permittees may renew. Long-term rentals (30+ days) of an ADU do not require a separate Roseville license — standard California landlord-tenant compliance under California Civil Code applies, including just-cause and rent-cap rules of the Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) where the ADU is not exempt. The City of Roseville monitors Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com listings and requires the permit number be posted in any advertising; an ADU listing surfaces automatically as a violation.
Operating an ADU as a short-term rental violates Gov. Code §65852.2(a)(7) and RMC Ch. 4.25. Roseville Code Enforcement issues citations under RMC Title 1; STR violations carry administrative fines, permit revocation under RMC 4.25.110, and SB 60 health-and-safety penalties up to $1,500 per day. Failure to remit the 10% Transient Occupancy Tax under RMC Ch. 4.24 triggers Finance Department audit, interest, and penalties.
