Registration Rules: Citrus Heights vs Isleton

How do I register my STR in Citrus Heights?

Apply through the Finance Department for a business license and TOT certificate. Documents include proof of ownership, insurance, and local contact designation.

Do I need to show my permit number on Airbnb?

Likely yes. Most California STR ordinances require the registration number to appear in online listings, and platforms increasingly enforce this.

What registrations do I need before renting short-term?

Three. You need a Short-Term Rental Permit from Planning & Environmental Review, a General Business License from the Department of Finance, and a Transient Occupancy Tax registration filed with the Tax Collection and Licenses Division before you begin operating. The permit application must document your authorized parking, fire extinguisher and refuse locations, and a Local Contact Person, all under Sacramento County Code Chapter 4.08.

Who can be my Local Contact Person?

Sacramento County Code Chapter 4.08 defines a Local Contact Person as someone who is personally available by telephone on a 24-hour basis, can be on-site within 60 minutes, and has the access and authority to assume management of the short-term rental. This can be the operator or a designated agent, but the person must be reachable around the clock and able to respond quickly to problems at the property.
