Los Angeles offers an Extended Home-Share permit under LAMC §12.22 A.32(d) that lifts the standard 120-night annual cap, requiring a clean compliance history, additional fees, and case-by-case Department of City Planning approval with neighbor notice.
After at least one year of compliant operation under a regular Home-Sharing Registration, hosts may apply for an Extended Home-Share permit using LAMC §12.22 A.32(d). Eligibility requires no outstanding citations, current Transient Occupancy Tax remittances, and no nuisance complaints during the prior 120-night period. Applicants pay an additional fee (currently $850), submit a discretionary application, and trigger neighbor notification within 500 feet. Approved permits remove the 120-night cap but the unit must remain the host's primary residence. Permits expire after two years and require renewal. Rent-Stabilized units, accessory dwelling units, and non-primary residences remain ineligible regardless of compliance history.
Operating beyond 120 nights without an approved Extended Home-Share permit, lapsing during the renewal period, or triggering nuisance complaints results in permit revocation, fines up to $2,000 per day, and a two-year reapplication bar.
