Registration Rules: Antioch vs San Ramon

Antioch requires short-term rental operators to obtain a City Business License and remit Transient Occupancy Tax on rentals of 30 days or less. While Antioch does not currently have a dedicated STR permit program like some Bay Area cities, all lodging businesses must register with the Finance Department and comply with zoning and nuisance standards.

Short-term rentals in San Ramon are heavily restricted. The City does not have a permissive STR ordinance, and most residentially-zoned properties are not authorized to operate rentals under 30 days. Operators must check current zoning code and TOT registration requirements with the Finance Department, and HOA CC&Rs in master-planned communities frequently ban STRs outright.
