Fresno County does NOT require a general rental property registration program. Only STR permits required. Long-term rentals need only a standard business license.
Unlike some California counties, Fresno County has no rental registration or inspection program for long-term rental housing in unincorporated areas. Landlords operating rentals must obtain a general business license through the Treasurer-Tax Collector and comply with CA Civil Code habitability requirements (§1941-1942). Complaints about habitability handled via Environmental Health and Code Enforcement.
