Chula Vista limits whole-home short-term rental of a primary residence to a maximum of 90 days per calendar year under CVMC 5.68. Non-primary residence STRs do not have a night cap but are limited to one per resident. A maximum of 2 STR permits are allowed per Chula Vista resident.
Under CVMC Chapter 5.68, the whole-home short-term rental of a primary residence is limited to 90 days per calendar year. This means the homeowner may rent out their entire primary residence for up to 90 nights annually while they are away. There is no night cap for hosted rentals (renting a room while the owner is present) at the primary residence. Non-primary residence STRs do not have a specific night cap but are limited to one non-primary STR per Chula Vista resident. An applicant may not hold a permit for more than one non-primary residence STR at any time. Combined with the primary residence, a Chula Vista resident may hold up to 2 STR permits total. The city tracks nights through reporting requirements and platform data. The calendar year runs from January 1 through December 31.
Exceeding the 90-day annual limit for whole-home primary residence rentals may result in permit suspension or revocation. Operating more STRs than permitted is a violation of CVMC 5.68.
