Yuba City's Municipal Code does not require a host or local contact to be present (or even within a fixed distance) during a short-term rental stay.
Yuba City has not adopted a 'hosted-only' or local-contact ordinance. Title 3, Chapter 6, Article 4 (Hotel and Motel Subscription Tax) regulates only TOT collection, not occupancy management; it requires the operator to maintain records and post the registration certificate but does not require an on-site or on-call host. The Zoning Ordinance Title 8, Chapter 5 likewise does not impose a host-presence rule. Unhosted (whole-house) STRs are therefore not prohibited by the Municipal Code in any zone that allows residential use. The only adjacent rule is the state-required 30-day minimum for ADUs/JADUs (Gov. Code §65852.2) as implemented in Yuba City Ord. No. 006-22, which effectively keeps ADUs out of the unhosted STR market because rentals under 30 days are barred there.
There are no host-presence-specific penalties. Nuisance behavior at any rental property (noise, parking, trash) is enforced through the general nuisance provisions of the Municipal Code and Penal Code §415, plus the city's administrative citation program for code enforcement matters.
