Night Caps: Citrus Heights vs Isleton

Can I rent my Airbnb 365 days a year in Citrus Heights?

Currently yes, subject to ongoing permit, tax, and operational compliance. Citrus Heights has no annual night cap at this time.

Might the city add a cap later?

Possibly. California law allows local caps, and many California cities have added them. Monitor city council actions.

Is there a limit on how long a short-term rental stay can be?

Yes. In unincorporated Sacramento County, a short-term rental stay may not exceed 29 consecutive days, and a single rental party is limited to no more than 29 total days at the property per year. Stays of 30 days or more are not considered short-term rentals - they fall outside the STR permit requirement and are not subject to the Transient Occupancy Tax, because a transient is defined as someone who stays fewer than 30 consecutive days.

Is there a yearly cap on total rental nights?

Sacramento County's published materials frame the limits around duration per stay (29 consecutive days) and per rental party (29 total days per year) rather than a single fixed maximum number of nights the home can be rented across all guests in a calendar year. The short-term rental must also remain accessory to your primary residence, which you must occupy at least six months a year. For any property-specific limits, confirm with the Office of Planning & Environmental Review.
