Moorpark expects a designated local contact for every short-term rental, available 24/7 to respond to complaints, even when the host is not physically present at the property during a guest stay.
The STR program under MMC Title 5 requires applicants to list a responsible person who can respond in person within a short window, typically under one hour, after a noise, parking, or trash complaint. The contact's name and phone must be posted inside the unit and provided to immediate neighbors. Hosted stays (owner present) and unhosted stays are both allowed, but unhosted operators carry heavier obligations. Failure to respond can lead to escalating fines and permit suspension under the city's nuisance abatement process.
Failing to provide a responsive 24-hour contact, or not responding within the required window, is a code violation subject to administrative citations and permit review.
