Tuolumne County does not have a mandatory rental inspection program for long-term rentals. Short-term rentals require Fire and Life Safety Inspections under Chapter 8.70. Long-term rental habitability is governed by state law.
Tuolumne County does not operate a proactive rental inspection program for long-term residential rentals. The county's inspection program focuses on short-term rentals (1-30 days) under Chapter 8.70, which requires Fire and Life Safety Inspections ($300, every 2 years). For long-term rentals, California Civil Code §1941-1942.5 establishes implied warranty of habitability standards that landlords must meet, but enforcement is complaint-driven rather than proactive. The county's Building Department may inspect for substandard housing conditions based on complaints per state Health & Safety Code §17920.3. Code Compliance handles complaints about dangerous structures and substandard conditions.
STR without inspection: Chapter 8.70 violation. Substandard housing: state H&S Code enforcement. No long-term rental inspection mandate.
