Clovis does not require a general rental property registration program. Landlords must obtain a business license; STRs have separate permit requirements.
Unlike some CA cities (e.g., Los Angeles, Berkeley), Clovis does not operate a mandatory long-term rental registration or inspection program. Landlords renting residential property should obtain a Clovis Business License from the Finance Department. STRs are separately regulated (see STR Permit Requirements). State law still requires habitability compliance (Civ §1941.1) and proper notice for entries/increases.
