Unlike Los Angeles City, unincorporated Los Angeles County offers no extended home-share permit. Title 22.140.290 caps unhosted rentals at 30 nights per year with no path to lift that limit while keeping the host offsite.
Title 22.140.290 sets a hard 30-night annual cap on unhosted short-term rentals in unincorporated areas. Unlike Los Angeles City's LAMC §12.22 A.32(d) Extended Home-Share permit which can lift the cap to year-round operation, the County ordinance contains no equivalent waiver. Hosts wanting to exceed 30 unhosted nights must either be present during the additional stays as a hosted rental, which carries no annual cap, or pursue a transient-occupancy use under a separate Conditional Use Permit through the Department of Regional Planning. Bed-and-breakfast and small lodge uses follow Title 22.140.110 instead. Contract cities such as Lakewood and Bellflower set their own caps separately.
Operating beyond 30 unhosted nights without converting to hosted stays or obtaining a Conditional Use Permit triggers permit revocation, daily fines up to 1,000 dollars, and a two-year reapplication bar under Title 22.140.290(I).
