Summary

San Ramon places no calendar limit on hosted short-term rentals under Municipal Code section D4-27.D.12: a homeowner who lives onsite and manages guests can rent rooms year-round. The unlimited schedule applies only while the Operator resides on the property during every stay.

The renting of un-hosted short-term rentals shall be limited to a maximum of 12 weeks per year. Hosted short-term rentals, with onsite live-in Operators, are not subject to specific limitations on the renting of rooms, etc.

Violations & Fines

Claiming hosted status while the Operator is absent from the property during rentals reclassifies the stay as un-hosted, exposing the operator to the 12-week annual cap and possible registration revocation under D4-27.G for misrepresenting registration information.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I rent rooms in my San Ramon home all year?
Yes, if you register as a hosted short-term rental and live onsite while guests are present. Section D4-27.D.12 exempts hosted rentals from any annual week limit.
What makes a San Ramon rental hosted instead of un-hosted?
Under D4-27.A, a hosted rental is one where the Operator lives onsite and actively manages activity during the stay. Without that onsite presence, it counts as un-hosted and falls under the 12-week cap.
Do hosted rentals still need to register with the City?
Yes. The unlimited schedule in D4-27.D.12 does not remove the registration, insurance, occupancy, and local-contact requirements that apply to every short-term rental under D4-27.C and D.
